Need help with what to plant in each corner along fenceline in back

9 years ago

We live in Central Texas and have a small backyard with adjoining fence on each side. We dug out the grass, installed landscape stones and have added three crape myrtles, 8 indian hawthorne bushes, and two dwarf burford holly. Please help with ideas in what to put in each corner (near birdbath on left and near birdhouses on the right). Our backyard gets West sun and we live in Hardiness Zone 7b. I would like something non-deciduous (evergreen type) that only gets 15' tall or less.

Thank you for your help!!!

I live in Boston so the climate is very different. But i wanted to offer a comment bout color- there is a lot of green back there: would you consider a tree w a purple leaf? Japanese maples are gorgeous.

How about a dwarf magnolia?
