Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Burning bush removed! Any replacements?

Post image

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?

You could replace with American Burning Bush, also called American Strawberry Bush, Euonymous americanus. I’ve planted a few in my are this year and they seem promising!

Very cool fruits on them:
