Southern Michigan 6a, clay soil and full sun in this area. Probably a 30-50 year old burning bush. Was around 10 feet tall any native shrubs around this height that could work in this area?

Eastern wahoo.
If something eventually bigger than 10 ft would work, it looks like your native crabapple is in decline and could use a boost. [https://www.michigannativeapples.org/](https://www.michigannativeapples.org/)
Serviceberry or the native, American equivalent to burning bush
The eastern wahoo.
serviceberry!
I put hollow Joe Pye weed where I took out the burning bush.
So jealous that you’ve already got snow
I replaced mine with a blackhaw viburnum. My forest rouge is super red even in only part sun
chokeberry has the same fall color as bb. Wahoo is hard to find. I’ve seen 2 in a local woodland and you bet I’ll be after seeds when they are old enough to produce. It’s more of a wetland plant so only put wahoo in full sun if the area is damp to wet. Some Viburnums can take full sun but most dogwoods don’t like it. If your soil is acidic and wet, consider Clethra alnifolia /summersweet.
