Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Corner by house, problem area, suggestions?, 1 by HoosierGreen

If you want a graceful conifer, check out weeping hemlock. They take forever to get to any size, so you would want to get one that is about 4' tall. They are very, very elegant. They can be pricey, but worth every penny (or dollar) and will be a focal point plant. Your location is perfect for a hemlock. Also, the root system is very fibrous so shouldn't ever be a problem. (I also love the false cypresses, but there aren't many that do well in the Midwest, the Hinoki being an exception, but it gets large.)

P.S. I'm pretty sure your weeping cherry is actually a weeping crabapple, most likely 'Red Jade'. Does it have pink buds opening white?

Here's a photo or a young weeping hemlock.
