Question

how does the poet gieve patel convey that is not easy to kill a tree ​

Answer 1

In the poem 'On Killing a Tree', Gieve Patel says that it is not an easy task to kill a tree. It can't be done by a simple jab of knife. A tree grows slowly by consuming the earth's nutrients. ... If a tree is to be killed, the roots of the tree must be pulled out from the earth-cave.
