far... thought I'd try here too...

I bought this in 1972 as a tiny 89 cent pot plant and I have
never seen another one just like it... I think it is some
kind of
asparagus but not any that I can identify.

I have never seen any flower or fruit on it - however
'insignificant'. I have tried to divide it and nearly killed
it.

It has appreciable thorns.

TIA,

also a baby tree of some kind...?? About 10" tall - shot with
a
piece of white paper behind to increase detail. Looks like
some
kind of pine or fir??

My thoughts are some sort of bamboo, but (a) it's hard to tell,
because the photo doesn't show the stem well at all; and (b)
there are a
gazillion and one types of bamboo out there. Many species have
thorns.

Name one bamboo that has thorns.
