Nothing new in this – in the late 18th and 19th Centuries rich landowners in Britain and Ireland were absolutely obsessed with collecting high quality trophy trees for their demesnes. Its one reason why there are so many outstanding tree gardens around. Its hard to complain when not far from where I live there are some of the finest redwoods to be found outside California, along with a host of rare Asian trees that are in many cases nearly extinct in their home ranges. At least those trees will still be growing and giving pleasure long after those billionaires are dead.
