The tree is not tree
- Last week I wrote that it was time to plant trees and trees, and in that sense more than one has asked me what difference there is between the tree and the tree. Is that not the same thing? In our house grandfather and brothers have worked with wood and wood, and for us all were trees. Then, when we alphabetize, we learned that there were also trees. It seems more appropriate to say “tree” to the tree; the word “tree” is foreign and the tree is indigenous. Today almost everyone uses the “tree”. The name “tree” applies only to those who give useful fruit to us, to which we call fruit trees (apples, Malus domestica, for example) fruit, fruit, fruit and fruit trees. Someday someone will find it and discover that it is also a fruit tree collected in the dictionary, and will end the use of our word “tree”. Anything on behalf of Coxidad!
Less bad than in 2009 the poet of Pamplona Josetxo Azkona Garzia wrote the book Arbola, the tree. There his discovery is gathered, the tree is not a tree. I had the opportunity to hear an interview on a radio with congratulations surprises. He perfectly expressed the difference between the tree and the tree when he realized his surprise. And take it to a series of poems.
On the cover of the book he says: “We are trees and trees. Let's go to town! Let us stay in the forest.” There's the lame. The trees are cultivated: they are born from the seed, they pass through, they change, they prune… The trees have their origin and way of life. Trees are cultural, natural trees. The tree is based on civilization. Nature trees.
Josetxo starts the book with an entry to the portal and makes some phrases very clear: “The horticulturist leaves the boat and carefully wears a calendar tape […]. The cherry tree is changing because it changes from one place to another or mutates (because we have it). It is a tree and not a tree […]. The cherry tree […] will bear exhausting fruit. So it's also tree and not tree.
Yew, unlike cherry, is not shaped in nurseries. It doesn't need someone else's work to be the way it is. It's natural and durable, totally wild, because it's natural in the forest or in the jungle, just like the beech or the mother. It is a tree and not a tree […]
We are cherry and tile: trees and trees.”
Therefore, we work to take advantage of the trees: the fruit, the wood… and the natural tree almost untouched. But we also take away the performance, right? The environment, mushrooms, wood… What a doubt! All trees and all trees. Or?
