C. caroliniana foliage. Note, if the site is in full-sun, you might need to do a bit of artful pruning to achieve a horizontal branching pattern with American Hornbeam. Note also, full-sun and Cornus alternifolia equalled death in my garden. Finally, I haven't got any decent pictures of Acer pseudosieboldianum unfortunately, but I bet there are some in Plant Files. It's not a terribly rare tree, and becoming more common all the time.
