The Big Tree in Stardew Valley requires players to fulfill certain conditions. The first of these is a stormy night. Just go about your daily routine until one night there is a strong wind storm. The next morning, you will need to visit the Big Tree south of your farm again.

As a result of the wind, the Tree will fall, and a stump will remain in its place. But now, you will finally be able to interact with it, as the exclamation mark will notify you. By doing this, you will begin a quest called The Giant Stump. To complete it, you need to collect 100 hardwood.

Fortunately, you just have to walk through the forests a few times and chop down trees to get this resource. But it’s worth noting that 100 hardwood is quite a lot. Therefore, you will spend several in-game days on this.
