A close cousin is the black hawthorn. Their thorns aren't as long but will also leave an infected wound that takes a while to heal. They grow wild around here. They propagate from seeds and sprouts from the root system. I pulled out a root w/the tractor and it was 40' long. The roots re very hard to kill. The stumps I had were cut 20 years ago and still sprouting. Bury a piece of root in damp soil and it will sprout. They would make a wicked hedge and keep getting thicker as sprouts come up. Fantastic firewood though. Burns hot and clean.
