Re: saving a bougainvillea
No plans with the others. I will try to save all them and I would be happy to part with the others. I live in brisbane. So it would be pick up. I'll go over this weekend comming and take some pictures.

Re: saving a bougainvillea
I got some photos of the bougainvillea vines. There is 10 in total. 5 of Which are hard to get to being behind a hedge. But the other 5 are very easy to access.

Re: saving a bougainvillea
I decided to dig it out my self today. 
it was so easy to pull out. It doesn't have many roots but I have delt with less on digs. If anyone wants one still I can come back next weekend and pull the rest out now I know how easy it is.
Sorry it took so long to get them out.
Thanks
