Hello, Tony,

I've read the other responses to your question and just have this to add
......

ALL maple trees can develop girdled roots if not planted properly. See the
University of Wisconsin Extension bulletin on Maple Decline, which has some
great photos of maple root problems:

As far as a linden or any other replacement, check out the UW Extension's
Guide to Selecting Landscape Plants for Wisconsin:
http://cecommerce.uwex.edu/pdfs/A2865.PDF. Lindens are listed on page 4.
