If they're like most other ivy, just take some cuttings and transplant. I
won't ask why you want this particular foliage.

IvyFan,
Have you conisedered some form of wire fencing to keep trespassers out of
the hawthorns until they have properly grown together?

So don't transplant a foreign species, especially not a weed.

String barbed wire and grow your bushes up around it. Growing poison ivy
would probably get you arrested. daveA

Do you have Japanese Barberry bushes (Berberis thunbergii) there? They
are thorny and can be shaped and are quite nice looking, especially with
the red berries. It is used to keep all manner of animals out. I had
them along a property line some years ago and were trimmed to about 3'
tall and 2' wide. They formed a continuous barrier along the property line.
