Default replacing a sick apple tree?


We have an old (?? 40-50 yr old??) apple tree that is knackerred (sounds
like me actually); it has canker I think (my wife thinks actually; she has
been dealing with it). It is distinctly unhappy looking (also like me) and
she want's to replace it (hopefully not like me). If I chop it down can we
just plant another in the same spot or do you get replant disease or
whetever it is called where you have to avoid growing the same thing again
in the same place?
