Can somebody identify this thorny tree for me please? The tree has long thorns/spikes on the branches and bark. It does not flower nor fruit, all it does is hurting me when I am gardening with the old branches on the ground. So I was wondering if it has any good use/ lack of fruits/flowers just a consequence of lack of nutrients/diseased. Thank you all in advanced!!!
Looks big enough to bloom so it is funny it doesn't - there should be clusters of small white flowers in spring. Also seems to have a poor shape, as though topped or lopped - but it is hard to tell if this has happened using only the one picture. You might like it better if you saw flowers or fruits on it, along with good autumn color. Without those it probably offers little that you enjoy visually, might best be removed.
