    Maybe someone can help.Was out looking for Bonsai material and came across this in a field.It looks like a Brazilian Raintree but the thorns are red with barbs.There were four together one about the size of a coke can and about 25ft.tall the others were just a bush.The bark is reddish brown a very smooth.It will make a great tree in a few years but have no idea what to call it. Have never seen anything like it before.Thanks
