Over-The-Top Transportation

Since no one wants to wait for a new tree to grow to status-symbol proportions, we're talking about transporting gigantic full-grown trees either across town or across the world. And making sure they stay alive. Enter the totally over-the-top transportation techniques. Helicopters, cranes, floating barges. Most of the time, the pricier part of the investment isn't in the tree itself, but the delivery method. The aforementioned olive tree? $17,000 to buy, an extra $40,000 to get it safely to its destination. Installation involved a 110-ton crane. No big deal.
