Can a “simple jab of the knife” kill a tree? Why not?

Question:

Answer:

No, a simple jab of a knife wouldn’t be enough to kill a tree because it will heal itself in the due course of time if it is not destroyed by uprooting it completely. Moreover, only chopping cannot kill it because it will slowly rise again and grow to its original size.
