I am looking for a replacement for our buckthorns. I recently found
out about their invasiveness and would like to remove them.

However, finding a replacement has been impossible! I have a particular
spot by my house and deck that requires a shrub/tree to be 3' wide,
12'-15' tall. Could anyone recommend something (anything!) in that size?
This is for zone 5.


How about an old-fashioned lilac?
