    Can you please include your climate zone, and any other information about the temperatures in your area? This can be hard to give advice for without knowing how cold or warm it gets in the area.

    Cephalanthus, aka buttonbush; Clethra "Hummingbird" and other compact varieties; rhododendron and azalea compact/dwarf varieties and Daphne. Do an internet search for compact shrubs for shade in zone ??? You don't give where you live, something vital for choosing a plant.

    If you have the main roots out, leave the rest to compost in place. There are a few aggressive shrubs like Euonymus alatus that might try to make a comeback from lateral roots but it sounds like you have worked hard to prevent that. The small feeder roots are not a problem.

    We cannot give legal advice, and advise that you consult someone that is equipped to handle this situation. I am sorry I cannot help further.

    Your state has a very broad set of USDA zones. Can you provide your zipcode? This will help me to recommend bushes for your zone.
