Betsy,

A fruit tree is a possibility. Perhaps a pear on dwarfing rootstock or a fig would be good. You might even have success with very low chill apples but you will need two for pollination. Pyracantha is also often espalliered although you have to take care around the thorns.

Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon!
