Planting New Tree Over an Existing Stump (MA)

From: Young Shen City: Concord, MA
hi, I recently had a 60 ft silver maple took down, with the stump grounded, to about 4-6"below ground level. I am thinking of planting a yellowwood or a black tupelo. Can I plant the new tree in the same spot? Thank you!

Greetings Young: I strongly suggest "not" planting your new tree over the top of an existing stump... Please refer to the following post: https://webs.extension.uiuc.edu/admin/askextension/thisQuestion.cfm?ThreadID=15340&catID=199&AskSiteID=87 Best of luck!
