These are the ones you kill because by the time you find that
out, you have disturbed the plant beyond hope of survival. :-(

I have collected a few trees that were growing in a wide crack between rocks, and
some that were growing on top of rocks that could be simply lifted off. Growing
out of a rock, I've never collected one that survived. Unless Luc has considerable
experience collecting trees in this situation I'd recommend he leave it and admire
it. I've had to do that many times.
