To start the Giant Stump quest in Stardew Valley, you must locate the tree found west of Marnie’s Ranch and adjacent to the Cindersap Forest. At first glance, it is just a large, unremarkable tree. However, it transforms into the Giant Stump when a powerful windstorm finally brings it down.

Therefore, the appearance of the Giant Stump is triggered only in the aftermath of the Windstorm Event. You will hear the sound of a tree collapsing on a random right. If you visit Marnie’s Ranch on the subsequent morning, you will be introduced to the fresh Giant Tree Stump.

However, triggering the Giant Stump Quest in Stardew Valley is entirely out of your hands. If Stardew Valley has patch 1.6 installed, your only task is to wait for the Windstorm Event to unfold. Despite its random occurrence, every player will get the event eventually.
