    Looks to me like a 30 year old - Asparagus Densiflorus Sprengri :)

    Billericay - Essex

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I only remembered it was some sort of aspargus and with a bit of help from google think I got it.
    I had one as a child in a hanging planter and it went on for years
    Well done for keeping it going for so long

    It must have been a very popular plant at one time. I took over my grandmother’s plant when she died and kept it going for at least another 20 years.  I can’t remember what happened to it in the end.
