Angelina Jolie bought her husband and cohort Brad Pitt a 200-year-old Olive Tree for Valentine’s Day, reports US Magazine and The Sun.

The movie star couple and hurricane of international goodwill reportedly spent $18,500 for the tree, which will be planted, or transplanted, at their French chateau.

In comparison, a single tree purchased and planted via the Friends of Trees Gift Trees program costs $35. A grove of six trees costs $100.

Here is a photo archive of last December’s Gift Trees planting in the Collins Sanctuary.

The next Gift Trees planting is March 28 at the same location.

Like anyone else, Jolie and Pitt will receive an invitation to this planting if they give or receive any Gift Trees prior to Feb. 22.
