Tree Help! Prunus Serrula?

Hello! We’re thinking of a planting a multi stem Prunus serrula in our medium sized new build garden in the UK. We were thinking of ordering 2 but perhaps the second tree should be different to help with biodiversity. Any suggestions for a second tree?

    They are beautiful trees but I think it depends on the size of your garden. You say medium size but measurements will help. Just that Prunus serrula’s grow to 10m high x 10m wide so pretty big. Sorbus (Rowan) is a nice companion if you have the room. They have white flowers in spring followed by berries in the autumn that the birds love. However, it too grows to about 10m.

    Amelanchier? I love mine, gorgeous when in flower, the birds love the berries and it has a lovely autumn colour
