Is it possible to torture a bonsai tree? I posted a "Biology of Bonsai" video a year ago, and to my surprise, there was a ton of backlash regarding bonsai ethics. Many people are convinced that the act of bonsai is hurting the tree, and even further, people who enjoy bonsai are sadistic. In today's episode, I explore the evolution of pain and discuss why it isn't possible to torture a plant.
