ideas for small trees?

Hi in my capacity as a member of our local `In Bloom` group, our current project is to replant some large and fairly deep beds. The bed is about 3 metre square and a couple of metres deep. It is almost in full shade. We would like to plant a suitable tree to give some height and structure, and I wondered if anyone could help with ideas that would be suitable for such a site?

Don't forget to consider some of the larger shrubs too, such as Fatsia japonica or Hydrangea sargentiana, which are both great for shade.

If the soil is acid, how about crinodendron hookerianum? Mine often flowers three times during the growing season

Betula utilis 'Jaquemontii', Sorbus varieties are good, Acer 'Brilliantisimum', Malus varieites, the spreading japanese cherries, like Prunus 'Tai-Haku' and Laburnum 'Vossi'. Hope theres a few ideas there!
