Would you spend Sh144,000 on three trees? Last Friday, someone did at Planty Kenya, a small shop in Lavington, Nairobi. Three European olive trees, each at ShSh48,000, left the shelves in a single morning.
"These plants don't stay in the shop for long. By the end of the week, not a single one will be left. Most of them are pre-ordered, and the rest are for walk-in customers," said Lucy Kioi, who runs the shop.
