Question
I am looking for a tree to replace a sugar maple in my front yard that fell over during a recent storm.  What would you recommend in a tree that is a) deer resistant, b) sturdy, c) not something big and dense that would dominate the front yard, and d) attractive or unusual either with interesting bark or nice foliage? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Joe

Answer
Different tree species grow in different conditions. Without knowing what part of the world you are in it would be impossible to recommend a tree to replace the maple. I would suggest that you visit the local tree nursery and ask them what tree would be best for your area and conditions.
