We are keen to get more weedy sightings of this species - which we are trying to get taken off the recommended planting list

Two down, one to go. I didn't have the right saw for the big one so just frilled and poisoned. Cut and poisoned the small one.
These were not spiny but I couldn't find the spiny one again - hiding behind a tree no doubt.

Cross pollination of not selfing cultivars may produce the spiny straight species which may take over in the end as they have in the USA.
