I'm looking for some advice for a smallish tree for a small lot. Here are the things we need to consider:

1. Full sun
2. Average-to moist clay soil.
3. Ideally 12-15' tall
4. Single trunk or clump

Preferably the tree will have a horizontal branching, possibly similar to a Pagoda Dogwood (Cornus alternifolia). We really like Japanese-style landscape design, but we're worried the Pagoda Dogwood needs more shade than we can offer.

There are some varieties of crabapple that should suit your situation to a tee...although I am not familiar with any that will branch out quite like the pagoda dogwood, you should have a variety of shapes and sizes to choose from and the added bonus of flowers and fruit.
