Tree recommendation for dramatic winter form

15 years ago

I'm looking for suggestions for a large specimen tree with a dramatic winter form. I have a spot in the front yard on a slight rise, far away from any structures where looking out the window it would be silhoutted against the sky. I'm looking for something to have a dramatic winter form. The spot is good sandy loam, pH 7.2, full sun, great drainage (top of a slight hill), sufficient annual rainfall. There are no other trees nearby for competition.

I know English oaks have a nice form, but I think they are VERY slow growing. It doesn't have to be a fast growing tree, but medium might be better than ultra-slow.

Thanks in advance
