Our Hawthorn has berries

Hawthorn is normally used for creating Bonsai. I am not into Bonsai creations as I feel the process involves torturing the plants by trimming their roots and binding the branches with wires. The growth is arrested.
The hawthorn in our garden was in a tiny pot. The rootes travelled outside the pot and into the ground which has resulted in the plant almost looking a small tree.
Hawthorn has purple flowers and orange berries. It is a pretty plant with pretty leaves.
Do you like to work on Bonsoi?

Most do not think the way I do and bonsai creations are thriving.

@JudyEv Wild trees are mushrooming in our garden. I have decided to keep them even at the cost of my garden looking like a jungle. Trees increase water in reservoirs as also they provide clean air.

@allknowing I understand your opposition and I wouldn't want one for myself. I don't think about plants having too many feelings but I do hate to see trees felled without real need.

I had joined Bonsai classes and when I saw what needs to be done I gave up.

@LadyDuck I can understand the trimming we do for their better growth but to get sadistic joy is not correct

@allknowing I agree that it is a sort of torture, trees and bushes are leaving creatures too.

What is called hawthorn around me is not allowed to live. It is a tree usually in my area. But I lost a horse when she caught her halter on one many years ago. As I was moving on from that my oldest boy wrecked and that is the kind of tree he hit when he crashed. So I cut them as soon as I see them growing anymore

That should not give this plant a bad name as it could be a one time catastrophe. Am I right?

@allknowing But I named 2. I also did not mention that I lost my son in that wreck. So I have a hatred for them even tho I know they are an inanimate item
