Type and size of tree required

(Question)

I had a dying oak tree removed on the border between the table land and the South Kingsway ravine. I would like to plant a white pine. Is this allowed? And what would be it’s minimum size?

We feel that your question is slightly out of the area of expertise of the Toronto Master Gardeners.  We would recommend that you get in touch with Toronto’s Urban Forestry department for advice on your situation.  Please see these websites for more details.
