I'd recommend an acer, lovely foliage, no berries etc. to drop and lovely colour in the autumn. They're pretty slow growing too, so not likely to take over your garden.

I've got "firecracker"

but there are a number of varieties - it is deciduous though.

I second this I have. I have exactly the same goes a fantastic brilliant ree in autumn.... Even if it is only for 10 days

The only thing I would say, is that because it grows slowly, you should spend money on a larger specimen to start off with, as otherwise you'll be looking at a twig for ages.

I've had mine 7 years and it's only grown a little over a foot in that time. It's  currently a little under 7 feet high, and cost me in the order of £150 at the point of purchase
