As said earlier, it certainly looks like a thorn apple...a bit of a
coincidence as I was browsing through pages yesterday looking for toxic
plants, when I stumbled upon this very plant!
Every part of it is highly toxic and can potentially cause severe illness
and even death.

Found one growing on a path on our Allotment site, flowers are so datura
like you can't miss it, avoided cutting it when I mowed ( DIY!) but a bloody
Council tractor has driven over it since, it's still alive, just.
