This is a picture of a corner bed in the back yard. It gets morning sun until late afternoon. The soil was clayish but has been refilled with good compost and top soil before this tree was planted.

Also, this picture of the weeping cherry and the area is now 3 years older . I didn't pick the tree out, the landscape company put it there and I liked it then - just didn't know better.

The tree is too big for the area now - more importantly - I'm afraid that eventually the roots will cause problems with the foundation of the house.

Any suggestions as to what to plant there? The area needs some height. I've been looking at shrubs and ornamental trees until I'm cross eye'd!

Thanks for looking!
