My husband is an ardent tree lover. He hates the so called 'garden art' where bushes and trees were cut severely to make a meaningful shape out of them.
People prune trees and plants believing that this will enhance their growth. This is a cruel thought as per my husband. Men, in order to satisfy their seemingly artistic skills, interfere in the natural growth of plants by being barbaric. Men treat plants and trees as if they have no life on their own and can be subjected to the whims and fancies of this artificial world.
My husband will never buy a bonzai tree; says it is brutally twisted and made to appear old artificially.
There is this Chinese bonzai artist named Shen Shaomin who was recently featured in several internet magazines. It is reported that Shen used to put a live plant into cage-like metal structures to restrict its growth. In this process, Shen employed a collection of antique-looking metal tools used to distort the plants.

Naturalists say that trees undergo excruciating pain when their branches are twisted. It is so very true! After all how do we feel when our arms are twisted by sadist who wants to see how a man will look with a twisted arm.
This tree torture is now hotly reported and debated in the Internet.
