Oi - I'm a gal :~))

Just remembered a really thorny tree that I've seen in the Dordogne region
of France:

Honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos)

.....efforts are continuing to find cultivars which do not bear such big
thorns.

Hmm. Hopefully someone is breeding cultivars which have even bigger
thorns. I saw this at Kew last year and was impressed.

Thanks to echinosum for revealing a source of Colletias. When I've
worked out what to pad out the order with, I'll get a couple.
