I have an area were I would like to replace a tree that we lost last spring do to very late & heavy snow. This needs to be a specimen tree,since it's right in front of our house & no taller than 15-20' at maturity. We already have maples, tulips, oak, beech growing in the woods around us, I would like this tree to stand out from the other trees. We already have a kousa Dogwood in the front yard and we already have a few Japanese Maples in the back yard. This area will receives morning sun and maybe an hour or two of direct sun later in the day. It is an open area and is brightly lit otherwise. It is probably best if it were an upright (vase shape) habit, but doesn't have to be. It does not have to be deciduous. Blooming is a plus! We are Z5b. Attached is a picture of the area.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Shady
