Max were you able to dig the whole thing up to expose the entire 'shank' - often they are quite distinctive with a root like appearance

Hi Teresa, The one I show upended was the best I could do with a bit of stick. They were growing out of a hard subsoil bank on the road verge. It was quite firmly rooted, but I can't see from the photo that I broke the root. I'll add a elevation view, but that wont do much good with the shank length.
