Gardening adviser Arno Kasvi now makes popular gardening videos for social media, but he no longer maintains a garden of his own. The article’s headline says doing so would send him to an early grave.
Kasvi is described as a persistent critic of Turku’s tree care. He showed the article a letter he had just sent to Åbo Underrättelser and Turun Sanomat, sharply criticizing how the city manages its trees.
The immediate issue was an ancient linden tree beside the river. In July, it suddenly broke apart in broad daylight after decay caused by a fungus left it unable to support its own crown. Nobody was injured.
