Question

why "cherry tree" title of the poem is given by Ruskin bond​

Answer 1

Ruskin Bond has given the poem the title 'Cherry Tree' because the poem focusses on the tree, the tree is a symbol of the bond between the child and his grandfather, and also because the cherry tree teaches many life lessons.

• Focus of the poem- The poem focusses on the cherry tree and traces its growth from the seed to the tree stage. The speaker mentions various seasons as well.
• A symbol of the bond between the grandfather and grandson- The cherry tree was very dear to Rakesh as well as his grandfather because they had both nourished it together. In fact, it was on his grandfather's suggestion that Rakesh sowed the cherry seed. Eventually, it became another reason for the two to bond.
• Teaches life lessons- The cherry tree teaches the readers many life lessons, like not to give up on something/someone (the cherry tree grew even when the speaker had forgotten all about it), to find joy in nature (the speaker enjoyed the company of the tree even though it was not human) and fighting through the challenges of life ( the cherry plant was cut by a scythe, eaten by a goat, and also faced bad weather, but it grew nevertheless).

Putting all these factors together it is clear that the title of the poem 'Cherry Tree'  is an appropriate one.
