I think I know what you are talking about. There several types of thorny pain in the ass plants that grow wild around here. There are blackberries with a reddish coloured cane and small barbs. They are unpleasant to the touch, but not really dangerous. Then there are the blackberries, which have a slightly ribbed cane and larger, sharper canes. Then there is something similar to the blackberry. They have a similar shape of cane, but they never seem to bear fruit. The ribs in the cane are more pronounced and the barbs are longer and sharper. I am constantly waging war with the wild roses back there. They are downright invasive. I like to cut back the brush on the trails, but cutting back roses just seems to make them grow more. |

I was little, the briar patch was big and those thorns were spikes. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |
