Yep, I'll second the cedar of lebanon and the cornus kousa. And HUGE shrub roses with other flowering climbers through them. In my grounds, you understand... And espaliered fruit all along the limestone walls of my kitchen garden... And the aforementioned monster wisteria. Mine would be white though... And some enormous topiarised yew... possibly to match the peacocks... Bum - I liked my garden this morning until I started this...
All of the above, plus the Faraway tree, but until I win the lottery I think an Acer Griseum, Prunus serrula, or Eucalyptus pauciflora. I love interesting bark. I'd say Hawthorn, but there are loads nearby so no need.
I think aTulip Tree I can't remember the botanical name, but looks beautiful but odd have tulip shaped yellow and orange blooms. Magnolia grandiflora, ancient mulberry tree, wise old oak, Hazel trees, a lime avenue,Ossier willows - beauty, pratical, food ...................don't know where to stop, but just need to aquire enough land to plant an alboretum

Didn't you see- Wintersong and I are having Italianate gardens with statues and stuff- your topiary will be fine - are you having an 'avenue' of them?
In fact - aren't you having a big fountain? I'm having the one from Castle Howard brought in.
I'm thinking of a grotto too......
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Pics of both trees now posted on galllery. Mum hopes you like them as much as she does.

Cornus kousa 'China Girl', but don't have acid soil here, such a georgeously stunningly beautiful tree
