The Battle is Lost

It is time to give up on the magnolia tree. It is dead and I am sad.

No amount of soil amendment could save it. Now I'm looking for suggestions of what to plant in it's place. I want a small tree that blooms in early spring and that has a random growth pattern. Any suggestions?

Because your soil is alkaline, that rules out a lot. How about a dwarf citrus? The blossoms aren't spectacular, but they smell good. And then you get some fruit! I have a dwarf tangerine and it loves our alkaline soil and heat in Las Vegas.
