Fruit trees and bushes, so I would be enjoying the fruit now. In the five years I have had this garden, I have planted three apples, two cherries, a plum and a greengage, rhubarb, gooseberries, raspberries and currants.
I would have planted roses. We have a few very mature ones in our garden and they are stunning, while the freshly planted ones are still too young. But for me too it is a rhetorical question as we only vought the house two years ago.
Also there is a grape vine ca. 15 years old - stunning, robust and gives us some delicious grapes every autumn.
And of course fruit trees.
During the last ten years, I lived in five different homes (and this one is not a forever home either) but for the sake of the question, I would say a fruiting cherry. I love cherries and they are expensive in supermarkets and don't last long when bought.
Would I consider planting these now? Wisteria, probably not, in case we move. Acers - maybe more in pots (more is more). Eating apple trees - possibly.
Same as raisingirl - more trees. Especially a screnn of trees at the bottom of our field where there are now 8 houses being built which will look directly into our field and at this end of the field our home. A complete loss of privacy which we have enjoyed for 40 years, I know we are lucky to have had that time but no more now.

Even now, I have a place in my garden where it would go.
