Do you keep ALL marked stumps?

I'm doing some serious clearing out of trees and flowers. Have numerous marked stumps. Any reason to keep them all?
 
They'll appear again, I haven't got any in mine yet, they've all been removed because of their placing.
 
I keep all my stumps with patterns on them because then mushrooms grow around them all year round. And some mushrooms sell for a lot of money.
 
I didn't keep a Butterfly one because it was when I was doing a massive organization of all greenery in my town. I did keep another Butterfly stump, and I have a Triforce one as well that's luckily in a good spot.
 
I kept the tri force one in the beginning of the game. Now I don't have any. The music note and clover are rare ones that grow rare mushrooms. Those may be worth keeping if you're looking for those.
 
I don't keep all of mine. I have gotten stumps when cutting down trees that were in the way when I was setting down a path, but go rid of them regardless. I did keep a stump with a musical note from a regular axe, but I ended up getting another one and wasn't very sad when Axel destroyed the first musical note stump when he moved in.

But I have stumps that I purposely kept in certain parts of my town.
 
I have (okay, will have) an area just for special tree stumps so I can have a mushroom farm. Also, I like saying I have a "mushroom" farm. :p
 
I don't keep mine because they're never in the spot I want them in.
 
I want to have every tree stump design in my town (just need clover, citrus & triforce). I have a few areas around my town that I want the stumps in, so I plant a tree, let it grow and then cut it down (2 strikes with gold axe and last strike with silver axe, 100% chance of getting special design). If it's a repeat design, I did it up and try again.
 
I've got all but 3 special stumps.
I keep them all unless it's a duplicate, in which case, I dig up the one in the less convenient place.

Butterfly | Citrus fruit | Ginko Leaf | Heart | Triforce |X
Animal Crossing leaf | Cat face | Clover | Flower | Musical Note | Star


I love the mushrooms, my town is covered in them between lamp posts XD
Also, only certain bugs can be found on stumps, so it's a good idea to have a couple :)

I thought about doing this, would look sweet to have them all next to each other but would just take sooooo long to achieve...

Does this trick actually work?

nope, i only keep it if its in a good spot and so far none have appeared where i want it.
 
Silver axe, 100% chance of getting a special design. I have never had it fail. Just be sure to use the golden axe (or regular axe, if you don't have the golden one) for the first 2 strikes, then switch to the silver axe. This way your silver axe will last longer. I love the mushrooms that grow around them also. Will be using some for the Harvest Festivale when Franklin comes to town.

Every tree you cut down with a silver axe has a special stump?

Because I have never found or been able to acquire a Silver Axe in my game, I keep all the marked stumps I find. I only have four and they're all relatively close to each other, but I still like them.

I like how villagers sit on them too.
 
Like Rendra, I want to have one of each eventually. I am not working towards getting them but if a new one happens to pop up while cutting down a tree for some reason, then I will keep it. I like my town having a "hap-hazard random" look to it.
 
If I find any, I'll keep them. The only one I got so far was destroyed by Agent S moving in. >_>

I've had several destroyed by new villagers plopping their houses on top of one. That's why I now have certain areas where I want my stumps at now. Near PWP, near cliffs, my house or villager's houses that will never be allowed to leave.
