Do you know what this plant is? Well we don’t but we would like to. Take a minute to post a comment and let us know.

thorny-shrub

We live in New Brunswick Canada and it seems to thrive very well on our property fence.

Even though some flowers look beautiful they can also be painful, like stopping to smell the roses, well those roses have thorns that can hurt. This bush is much the same, you get close enough to take a good sniff and they will grab you and drag you in, perhaps not to be found until late fall.

We aren’t sure what this is called, we just know it looks great when it has leaves, make a great privacy fence but the maintaining it can be lethal.

We are slowing removing it from our property fence but I think we will keep a little section on each side of our property. It just looks too beautiful to completely remove.

thorns I think we can control it if we have access to all sides. As it is now it lines the entire three sides of our property and is too hard to handle. I will see how it goes with a small section we have already cleared and if it’s managable we will keep the smaller sections of this shrub and use less thorny plants and shrubs for the rest of the fence.
