I removed a dying tree the one with an X. First I was not planning on replacing it but now i want to replace it with a small tree. The one on the left is the dogwood.
With just one tree it looks unbalanced. What should i replace it with???

I think you should replace it with a picture either left or right! One or the other!
You can see several pictures of the trees in the following thread, just scroll down. The remaining healthy tree on the RIGHT is the dogwood and the dying eastern redbud tree on the LEFT (with a red X) was cut down and removed.

Thank you Zoisite for including the link. Trying one more time to include the picture. I had to delete the old pictures in order to add it again.
I want to replace the tree on the left that I had removed. The dogwood is on the right is okay and i like it.
I want to plant a smaller tree where i have an arrow.
Have you spoken with your local extension agent? They would have some really good suggestions on a replacement tree or even large shrub depending on your soil pH, amount of sun, average rainfall, proximity to traffic and the dogwood. Also, what caused the redbud to die?
I live in Zone Four and had requested an American chokecherry for Mother's Day one year. Instead they sold DH a Japanese ornamental chokecherry which are subject to black knot. The blooms are so very fragrant and lovely but short-lived.
After years of nursing the sick tree along we both agree it's time to cut it down. I would like to replace it with a Japanese lilac tree. They have become popular in my neighborhood and it's a real treat to see the blooms so late in the season.
I'm going to recommend Ostrya virginiana (Hophornbeam). I have several and they have grown wonderfully. If the area is more moist, you cold also use Carpinus caroliniana (Hornbeam). Both of these are fairly disease resistant and longer lived. You'd likely have to find a nursery that sells native plants to get one though.
Not knowing your location (other than your handle,) I'd recommend a citrus tree. If you're going to plant/water/fertilize, you might as well get some fruit out of it.
If you just want a "pretty" tree, then a "Ficus" are pretty hardy.
If you want a challenge, then Plumaria would have your neighbors talking...
