Lines 11 and 13 serve to underline children's imagination vs. the man's lack of imagination.
The poem is about two trees: an orange and a lemon tree. These trees are tied together by a man known as Don Miguel; however, sometime after, the new owner of the house separates the trees.
The children are fascinated with the two trees as they believe the trees are magical "and not one kid in the village didn’t know the magic tree in Miguel’s patio".
On the other hand, the man does not have imagination and that is why he decides to separate the trees "The man who bought the house had had no dream".

For twelve months, from the shame or from the fright
they put forth nothing, but one day there appeared
two lights in the dark leaves. Over the years
the limbs would get themselves so tangled up
10 each bough looked like it gave a double crop,
and not one kid in the village didn’t know
the magic tree in Miguel’s patio.
The man who bought the house had had no dream
so who can say what dark malicious whim
15 led him to take his axe and split the bole*
along its fused seam, then dig two holes.
