After felling a tree, it’s important to remove the stump that is left behind. Leaving the stump in the ground could result in rotting wood that will attract insects and is susceptible to fungus which can go on to infect other trees and shrubs in your garden. If there is still life in it, the stump may sprout suckers which will deprive other plants of nutrients and moisture from the soil. Even a stump killer just speeds up the process of rotting the stump and will be prone to the same issues.
Some people are tempted to burn away a
stump, but this is rarely a good option. Immediately after felling the stump
may still be too fresh, and once it starts to rot it will be too wet. If you
are able to burn it away, it’s likely to take an entire day during which you won’t
want to leave it unattended.
