One of our favorite broadleaf deciduous shrubs is undoubtedly Orixa japonica. Orixa is a monotypic (one species) genus in the citrus (Rutaceae) family, that's virtually unknown in US gardens. This green clone came from the Woodlanders Nursery property. This should mature at 8' tall x 6' wide We have found Orixa to thrive in sun to light shade, although part sun plants require more moisture to look their best.
