Spiny Plum Tree

Some varieties of plum tree have very sharp spines or spikes on them particularly an American variety or if they have been originally grafted from a blackthorn root stock.

This plum tree in our garden just decided to die some years ago for no known reason. I keep it because the birds use it a a perch and I also hang bird feeders from it. Maybe one day I will dig it up?
