[Arid_gardener] trees for narrow spaces

[Linda Drew]

You might try some of the smaller acacias in this space.

Other possibilties are yew pine (Podocarpus), hopbush,
and nandina. Arizona rosewood might also work (can be pruned)
but is a slow grower.

If the eucalyptus is the lemon-scented gum, its mature size
is 45-90 feet tall and 15-45 feet wide. Or is it one of the
smaller eucalyptus?
