Expert Response
Thank you for contacting us with your question. There are a variety of trees that could be planted. If you are replacing another tree, make sure you have ground out the roots and you have done a soil test to make sure your new tree gets a good start. Wayne County extension has a good article listing what to plant, as well as what not to plant. A description of the trees are there and you should be able to pick one you like: https://wayne.osu.edu/sites/wayne/files/imce/Tree%20planting%20for%20the%20home%20landscape%20Gary%20Graham%20April%2030%20article.pdf
