Default Specialist Thorny Plants ?


"ora" wrote in message

Hi All.

I hope the group can help me, for reasons not worth bothering you
with, I'm interested in finding the most blood hungry thorny plant
that will grow fast and vigorously in the UK or even better a range of
types I've an area of deep shade and another exposed in full
sun.

To be clear I don't want a pussy like Pyracantha or Hawthorn I want
"Grow Your Own Razor Wire!!", Little Shop of Horrors.

Any specialist sites I might ask on?

Exotics that I may be able to get hold of? They would need to stand up
to the rigours of Merseyside, grow fast and vigorously



Regards Ora
