This is lovely location for a japanese magnolia hybrid from the "little girl" series...Jane, Betty or Ann -- my favorite with 4" purple/pink spring flowers -- (Magnolia liliflora x M. Stellata). Jane has a larger 6", redder flowers; Betty is probably too large for that location, and the delicate Star is probably too small.

These deciduous magnolias flower in March or April and have an attractive structure even when leafless.

I love the idea of the redbud, but check the location for wind, as this can be an issue. A japenese maple would be another great choice for your location. Shop carefully for the right size and variety!
