Last fall the township widened the road and sidewalks in conjunction with a sewer and water main upgrade.
Now they are offering a choice of replacement trees for the ones that they had to remove.
I had a 53 yr old Sycamore that was pretty messy, but lasted through numerous nor'easters, hurricanes, superstorms, and micro tornados.

Anywho, my choices are:
Redspire Pear,
Northern Red Oak,
October Glory Red Maple.
and White Pine.

The white pine choice is off the table for me, as most of them that were planted by the original owners back in 1964 got destroyed during Sandy. (It was the notorious white pine that was responsible for 85% of the home damages when the monster limbs broke off and went flying.)

Trees at being offered in a 4-5" trunk caliper, except for the pine which is offered in the 5-6 ft range.

Thanks in advance.
