But the trunk of mine was brown. Probably an older growth than what mike saw? Hope he gets a picture. * * * * Plants: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Seeded: 4.249.60.194 obywan59 Garden Pro! Member # 2222 posted                       I thought about quince too, but I think the thorns are smaller. Do pomegranates have thorns? * * * * Terry May the force be with you Plants: 1370 | From: Copper Hill, Virginia | Registered: Apr 2004  |  Seeded: 207.69.138.10 mike57 Super Gardener Member # 4181 posted                       HI GardenCrazy you where right on the money they are quince further in the woods i got found some bigger ones and the stalks where brown.i dug up abought 25 of them.I think they will make a good hedge row.dont think to many folks would walk through a hedge like that thank for the imformation on them.your friend in gardening.mike57 * * * * No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent.

Or they start out in one place and then grow more trunks(?) beside that, and then more beside that. And the original place becomes barren after along while. Mine were more of a salmony color than a red but they flowered so early that they were one of my favorites. Even though the thorns are aggressive little monsters that always found my fingers. I hope they like their new home and do really well for you. * * * * Plants: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Seeded: 4.249.201.215
