Thought the felling of lime trees from the path of the light traffic route has provoked opposition from residents. City wood expert Juha Raisio however, told HS in September that it would not call lime trees under threat of felling top trees.
“They have been set up on a quarry beach, and some of the land beneath them may have dissolved in the bay,” Raisio said.
According to him, the trees under the felling threat have dry branches and the growth of their shoots is short. He saw that the plan could be considered a good thing for urban trees, as it would provide an opportunity to set up a new tree.
