While some dead branches may be a drawback I recommend White Fringetree. I would relegate it to the edge of the woods and not in a prominent spot in the landscape. Know that you're going to have to periodically clean the tree out, especially in Connecticut.
Fringe Tree is a large multi-stemmed deciduous shrub or small tree with a rounded crown. The spear-like bright green foliage turns yellow in fall.
