    I am living in Massachusetts and am working for a non-profit. One of our beloved visitors has decided to donate a tree for the viewing area of one of our cottages. The tree must meet a number of criteria. First, if must be astetically pleasing... most likely flower for a part of the season. Second, it must be able to survive in VERY limited sunlight... as it is on the edge of a forested area, so it is blocked in season. Lastly, it needs to be durable, as we have quite drastic season changes and the winters can be very harsh.

    Thanks for the help.
