Have recentaly been out to the riverina and dug up a few Black Pines .I found a small stand on a very rocky hillside,.There were also some smaller ones growing in the table drain ,these had been hit by the scrapers when they graded the dirt road.The soil was a rock hard baked clay. The plants came out like they were stuck in a paver.The good point was that they had very short tap roots.
Amongst the blue were a few lime green plants ,looked the same species the only differencs being the leaves were a little thicker.Also picked up a large gnarly blue, it was growing in a small dam beside a fenceline. the soil was like clay and luckily it came out in one huge block.
Have had for several weeks and all are starting to push out new growth

Would like to know if the lime green is the same species and what to do with gnarly

Regards John
