"A tree hurts, too"

"A tree, like a human person, can be hurt...Hurt in the sense of injury, damage, or wounds, but of course not in the sense of feeling pain."
"...and like you and me, a tree responds to its wounds. It may not say 'ouch,' but it does react. A tree 'hurts,' too."

("A tree hurts, too", Northeastern Forest Experiment Station, Forest Service, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, 1973)
