Hi everyone - We've got a mostly-sunny, south-oriented side yard here in Seattle (Zone 8). It is a long but narrow side-yard (90' long by 15-20' wide) and we'd like to plant a vase-shaped, small to medium-height (up to 30') maple alongside the asian-style bamboo fence we've built for visual interest and a little privacy.
We like the look of Coral Bark and some similar maples but were told that Coral Bark Maples typically last only 5-10 years in our area, and we didn't want to invest in a tree and have to replace it in 5-10 years. Perhaps they don't like damp winters? Can anyone advise on good, vase-shaped ornamental maple candidates for the Seattle area?
Many thanks in advance (we're new to selecting trees :)) - Michael
