I have many trees around the property that have thorns. This particular one recieved a very heavy haircut to keep it away from the new electric line going on the fence. I'm hoping the horses stay away from it and it's buddies.

I have a few different kinds of thorned tree around the property that I'm having a hard time identifying. We didn't have trees like this in Texas.

The afterbirth of a cow must be placed in an apple tree or the cow will not calf next year. Similarly, the afterbirth of a foal was to be hung in a thorn tree to secure the health of the foal. Hanging placentas in trees was an agricultural superstition practiced in northern England, largely of Germanic influence. (pictured: Farmyard by John Frederick Herring Jr. late 19th c.)
