We are having the 75 year old sugar maple in our front yard removed, trunk has dirt coming out of it, and the stump ground as deep as possible. I plan to remove any woodchips and back fill the hole with compost from the compost bin in my yard and grass clippings. I hate to take the tree out, but given the damage being known any damage it causes to other people's property or municipal infrastructure would likely hit our homeowner's insurance and after having a minor garage/house fire last year our insurance company would likely frown on us not removing the tree given our prior knowledge.
When we replant we're looking for something that's fast growing and have considered a Tulip Poplar and a Dawn Redwood. I've measured and there's at least 25ft canopy space between where the current tree is and the house. What are some drawbacks to these two trees we should be aware of, and would they automatically eliminate them from planting in your front yard? There is a gas line and water/sewage line running through the front yard. I'm not certain when either were put in but they, likely, were when the current tree was under 30 years old just based on my knowledge of the area and our house closing in on 100 years old.
What are some other fast growing trees you'd suggest?
