Why is it difficult to kill a tree?
A tree is an integral part of nature. As planned by nature, it is deeply rooted and anchored in the soil. It cannot be easily destroyed. One cannot simply cut it and kill it. The tree is so strongly built into the scheme of things in the natural world that it is very difficult to kill a tree without actually uprooting it altogether. If it is only cut, with time, it will grow back. That is why killing a tree is a challenging task.
