    Is this a tree I should keep as a desireable tree or replace it as I only want trees that will benefit the property landscape.

    Keep it for a few years (or longer) and form your own opinion. Possibly it is even a Washington hawthorn, this is grown by large nurseries and planted for ornament. Fall color can be interesting, small fruits abundant and showy.
