Here is a link that might be useful: google page

8-10 foot,well you could fit a buddleia in that space,and if you don't fancy the normal purple kind there's the yellow B.globosa. Also there's Wiegela,tho a bit untidy,better yet the related Beauty Bush (Kolkwitsia) ,similar flowers but fragrant.

What about a nice, picturesque Japanese maple? Hollies pruned like trees make a very nice specimen planting, too.

I already have two Carol Mackies and love them, but I need something taller. I had considered weigela, but don't know Beauty Bush. Will google and consider. I was also thinking about something like a mountain laurel, but they grow so slowly. Or maybe just another viburnum. Any favorite kinds??

Viburnum opulus? Has white mop head flowers. Most people prefer the sterile cultivars with the really big mopheads but they have no berries and I like to give something back to nature. V.tinus grows quite big with laurel like leaves but the flowers aren't very showy.
