Default Thorny shrubs

The message
from "geoff" contains these words:

I want to plant a boundary of thorny shrubs. Which such shrubs are easy

to
grow from cuttings? I've tried growing some thorny types before, but the
cuttings never made roots.


Pyrocanthus can be rooted from softwood cuttings and if you've ever "mixed
it" with such a hedge you'll know why it's called that - "Who planted that
flaming thing?!!" It grows fairly quickly too.


Both the flowering and the berry stages are very decorative, and the
birds benefit in the winter.

BTW, is there an evergreen variety?
