Go to Answers.com and enter the question, "Why does a plant have thorns?" Sounds like a wild lemon vine. Can be used as a protective hedge. Thorns 2 to 3" long. Said to be tenacious.
Hi Deanna, When I lived down in Texas we had those trees in our back yard. Ours wasn't huge. About the size of a grown Dogwood tree. My Father in law told me that they were Joshua trees. He said that if you get stuck with the thorn it could get really infected. I would call it stabed myself. Be careful. Dawn
I bet you could build a house with those thorns! In high school, a friend and I used some lemon tree thorns in place of a needle in an old phonograph and played even older glass records that way!
Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.

Is it a boddock tree? I know they have terrible thorns and the fruit is kind of lemony. Also called horse apples. They are all over Ms.
looks like the thorns our decorative "crown of thorns" is made from; if so, they are super sharper, especially when it's dried.
Very Interesting!!

Could it be a lemon tree? Several citrus trees have thorns.
