What happens if you don't remove a stump?

Leaving a tree stump in the ground causes it to slowly decay, attracting pests like termites and ants, becoming a tripping hazard, potentially spreading disease to other plants, and sprouting unwanted new growth (suckers) that compete for nutrients, making removal harder later. While it can eventually decompose, the time it takes (years) and the problems it creates often make removing or grinding the stump the better option for aesthetics, safety, and yard health.

Can trees feel pain when cut?

No, trees do not feel pain when cut because they lack the brains, central nervous systems, and pain receptors (nociceptors) that animals use to process pain, but they do react to damage by sending electrical/chemical signals, activating defenses like producing toxins, and releasing airborne warnings to other plants, acting more like a complex defense system than conscious suffering. While they can't feel "pain" as we know it, their responses to injury are sophisticated cellular reactions to harmful stimuli, not emotional suffering.
