Can a “simple jab of the knife” kill a tree?

Answer 1

Hey.. here's your answer

No, a simple jab of the knife cannot kill a tree. The tree has grown strong consuming the minerals and air and water. It's root are penetrated deep into the Earth's crust. It requires a lot more than a simple jab of a knife to kill the tree.

Answer -

No.

I do not agree that a simple jab of the knife can kill a tree. Well, A simple jab of the knife is not enough to kill a tree. Because The tree will heal itself. A tree can only be killed by uprooting it. To kill the tree we have to take out the roots outside from the ground. Only chopping or cutting some parts cannot kill it, as it will grow again.
