I have experience with digging in rocky areas. It is very difficult...
Here is one example of collecting aleppo pine!
What I have done?
Since it was impossible to extract it right away, I broke a part of the rock around the trunk and made a hole of the diameter and the depth of around 20cm. I deliberately damaged a part of the main root on couple of spots, almost cutting it, and then I filled the hole with humus, covering it with rocks. In the autumn, two years later, when I was sure that the side roots have developed from the damaged main root, I cut it entirely and extracted the pine with the new side roots and wrapped it in the nylon sheet with humus.
1. in nature (60cm high, with the trunk thickness of around 10cm)
2. at home
