want a couple of trees, what should I plant

Hi, I want to plant a couple of fast growing tree's next to my shed so I don't want the roots to damage the shed itself, I prefer ones with colourful flowers if possible, what are my options?

Fruit trees? I guess if you keep the branches away from the shed the roots will be OK.

Here's a flowering cherry from Holland Gardens:

 

I just bought a ornamental cherry tree. I thought they were slow growing.

 

Potted ones. 'Nuff said.

Giving you a list of trees would be useless without taking into consideration such criteria as soil type, site location, water and nutrient availability, soil drainage, space, light etc.

Take a look at these websites for some ideas suitable for your garden, then search Google to find some suppliers.

Ornamental, yes. But dwarf root stock not compulsary.
