    Can I suggest a mimosa? Acacia dealbata or acacia retinodes. In a sheltered garden they would do fine and you'd get the lovely scented flowers. If it was mild enough for acacia baileyana you would get lovely grey or purplish foliage

    I know you said no fruit trees but patio pear trees are quite attractive. They seem to form a nice shape and have nice glossy leaves.
