After an Arborist confirmed it was dead, we had to call a Tree Service company to safely perform the sad removal.
We were given a choice to have the tree stump ground down or left standing.
We decided to keep the tree stump and decorate it with flowers.
Why Did We Choose A Tree Stump Vase?
We wanted to feature flowers on top, and since we weren't digging a cavern directly in the stump, we needed to safely secure a weather-resistant outdoor vase to the top.
We talked about a metal vase and a plain plastic vase; however, neither seemed safely practical.
The tree stump is located between two driveways; thus, we needed something lightweight yet durable should it ever break loose after we secured it to the stump and gawd-forbid damage our cars!
Here's a peek at the tree stump vase secured to the stump:
This tree stump vase is painted with weather-resistant UV paint to prevent fading and weathering. It's also designed to insulate plants from extreme heat or cold.
The one we purchased measures 10.5 inches in diameter and 9 inches high. They do come in other sizes. We verified the diameter of the tree stump beforehand. Also, we didn't want anything that stood too tall.
Here's another look at the tree stump with the flowers lifted.
We choose a tree stump vase primarily because it's lightweight, blends with the existing stump, and looks good without flowers.
In the fall, we'll change the flowers, and come winter, we'll come up with something creative to fill the tree stump vase.

We selected flowers that trail over the stump. They still need to do some growing.
