It can take decades for a stump to rot. They become unattractive the more they decay and can become possessed with suckers and shoots until they die. Old stumps become an eyesore and a tripping hazard. Dying stumps attract aphids and termites and depending on how close the stump is to a building, can become an unforeseen costly expense.
