Stumped

When we moving into the Oxford house many years ago there was a little ornamental Salix in the middle of the back garden - over the years it got bigger and bigger until a couple of years ago it finally died (not sure why!).  

Despite the ravages of the Frank, Gertrude and Katie over the last few months it stayed put until finally a man with a chain saw came to sort it out  this week.  Need to figure out what to put in its place - once the stump gets cleared.
