Notes:
My wife and I found these growing along a stream in rural Jones County, GA. They appeared to be growing on a vine and had some wicked thorns! They have a strong citrus smell.

These make really good secure borders! Ha ha… I can’t think of ONE thing (other than a tank) that could… or WOULD try to get through that thing’s thorns. Thick as molasses and WILL flatten your tractor’s tires.

I have this too – it’s a large bush with massive thorns, reminds me of the crown of thorns they put on Jesus’ head. My bush is approx. 11 ft. tall and approx 9 ft. in width. It has white blossoms in the spring. I have little plants starting all around the main one – probably from the numerous seeds found within the one fruit. I too would like to know what it’s name is – have done quite a bit of searching in books I have but can’t find it anywhere.
