Most expensive tree

Most expensive tree

£750,000 (1,462,500 USD)

This is the most expensive tree in Britain – worth more than three times the average price of a home. The Victorian plane, which has a 1.8m (6ft) wide trunk and stands in Berkeley Square in the heart of Mayfair, is valued at £750,000 (1,462,500 USD).
It may seem like a lot of money but there are dozens of other trees worth more than £500,000 in London’s richest boroughs, such as Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster.
When all the street trees in the capital are added together they are worth about £6.4billion, according to the Capital Asset Value for Amenity Trees system.
The new guide assesses a tree’s worth by its size, health, historical significance and how many people live nearby to enjoy it.
Tree experts say it will end the ‘chainsaw massacre’ of trees blamed for subsidence in homes. In the past five years, London councils have chopped down nearly 40,000 street trees, some more than 100 years old.
But with the new system, the higher the value of a tree, the more proof insurers would need to show it has caused damage and have it felled.
Cavat, developed by the London Tree Officers Association, will be used across the capital later this year and go nationwide next year.
Andy Tipping, who chairs the association, said: ‘People are still not understanding that subsidence is a problem with buildings, not trees.
In many cases it’s other reasons such as drains, poorly installed double-glazing or climate change.
This is going to revolutionise the way in which subsidence claims are managed for the better of all – including householders, insuerers and local authorities.

The most expensive caviar in the world

The most expensive caviar in the world

The most expensive caviar in the world is not the black one, but the almas caviar! The word “almas” is Iranian for diamond. Almas caviar comes from Iran making it extremely rare and extremely expensive. The only known outlet is the Caviar House & Prunier in London England’s Picadilly that sells a kilo of the expensive Almas caviar in a 24-karat gold tin for £16,000, or about $25,000. Coincidentally, it is also where you can find the most expensive meal in Britain. The Caviar House also sells a £800 tin for those on a smaller budget. Beluga caviar comes from a fish over 100 years old, that is virtually unchanged for 120 million years. The luxurious caviar comes from the oldest survivor of the Dinosaur era. Beluga caviar ranges in price from more than $5,000 per kilogram in the United States. Beluga caviar is composed of pea-sized, gray eggs. In general, the lighter the color, the more expensive it is. The grades are: 0 (darkest color), 00 (medium toned), and 000 (lightest color). The 000 grade is the most expensive and is sometimes referred to as “royal caviar”. In terms of texture, royal caviar is often described as rich and silky.

The beluga is a large predator which feeds on other fish. Beluga sturgeons are fish, and are unrelated to the (mammalian) beluga whale. As do many sturgeons, the beluga travels upstream in rivers to spawn. Accordingly, sturgeons are sometimes likened to sea fish; however most scientists consider them to be river fish.
