I am hoping to find a name for this tree (?). I thought I had bought a plum tree, but as it started to grow, fiery thorns or spikes appeared. It has now more than 1 metre high and small leaves, and I have no idea what this is. Can somebody tell me? Thank yound
Have no idea!!! It is in a big pot, and I have two options, or getting rid of it (hate spikes) or put it in the ground. Definitely a tree, not a shrub!
Beyond this I can't help you.. maybe if you can change the thread title or start another thread "my plum tree has thorns" someone on here might see it who knows how to help you.
If you do end up with a blackthorn it's worth thinking about keeping it in a quiet corner of the garden. They look great in April when they blossom, about a month before the hawthorn.

Prunus spinosa.
At least you could have a go at making Sloe Gin?
