You can't go past a plum tree. They can grow to 9m tall and 7m wide. (Smaller with pruning.) They have lovely white flowers and the plums are not particularly messy but do require gathering when fallen. They take about 3-6 years to fruit. Spraying large trees for fruit fly can be difficult.
The bark is rough and do not make for good climbing. This feature can be useful to prevent children from wanting to climb them.
There are dwarf varieties available that also provide shade but will usually only grow to about 2m tall.
They are deciduous trees (lose leaves in winter) which is useful if the shade is only required in summer.
