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

A Blackberry cultivar....I'm bearing the scars all week. Extremely thorny
but with berries between 1/2 and 1 inch, it's worth having. Each year we cut
it right back to just one main stem espalier, but by fruiting time, all the
side shoots
are 4 foot long, massively intertwined (hence the scars) but laden with
luscious
fruit.
