First, don't plant a tree that's in the same family of trees. Whatever killed the previous tree could kill the next one. Even if you just cut down the tree, it's still not a good idea. If you're sure the old tree is completely dead, inject it with mushroom spores. That will speed up the process of decaying the old roots.
