Do you think it might be a small pine tree? It's in the right area - I've found a few around here. It just doesn't make any sense for it to be a hakea.

Pine needles are in groups of 3 (for Pinus radiata which is the commonest around the ACT).

Yes, Pinus radiata is what we have in AB - there was a patch that was removed years ago and I keep finding little ones. I don’t think it is P radiata but I don’t think it’s a hakea either.

Strikes me as closer to hakea than a pine species

They have been found at Majura, Bruce and Red Hill, so why not AB? Must be birds? Do I just leave it and let it grow? Mind you it was so small I’m not sure I’d find it again even with coordinates. It will be another one to increase AB’s species richness score if someone rediscovers it and identifies it one day.
