I have a customer with a narrow bed (barely 3' deep) in a pool area and they want an evergreen tree. There is a gate a foot or two from this area so I need something that won't come out into the entrance area. The problem is finding a plant that fits the space and is also commercially available!

I am considering the following:

Juniperus chinensis 'Torulosa'; Hollywood Juniper
Isn't there a very narrow form of Cedrus deodara??? I see them but don't know the cultivar name
Chamaecyparis species...Anyone know which cultivars have a nice form and remain tight at the bottom?

Need answer ASAP...Thanks!!!
