The new place of this giant incense tree is the billionaire Dendrology park, former Georgian prime minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, channel Rustavi 2 said. Experts spent the entire day of March 23 to transport the 100-year-old ancient tree to the town of Ureki.

According to the BBC, photos taken of the transport of leprosy trees have attracted the attention of netizens. Some people call this " swimming tree ", while others think that this is a surreal scene. However, there are many criticisms, saying that this is a stupid act.

In fact, Ivanishvili's plan to build the park faces many objections, as many people believe that the billionaire is not allowed to buy old trees and move them. There were even protests erupting in Tsikhisdziri village in February when Mr. Ivanishvili relocated three giant trees here.

" If he is crazy about huge mountains, people will have a headache ," said Tamara Chergoleishvili, the leader of the opposition against Ivanishvili, sarcastically.

In response to criticism, Ivanishvili said his park " is a suitable place for those old trees ". He affirmed to plant at least 10 new trees after relocating old trees to the park.

Earlier, the Adjara government also issued a decree that allowed Zimo to relocate two cypress trees and a kimono for more than $ 2,600. According to the United Nations Movement, they plan to relocate about 40 trees to Mr. Ivanishvili's Dendrology Park.

Mr. Gia Zhorzholiani - Chairman of the Environment Committee of Georgia's National Assembly said that replanting old trees is an act for the environment and will even save them.
