KathyH,
I almost feel your pain! I too suffered a thorn impalement that sent me to urgent care. Just some pain killer and they removed it from my finger.
They are beautiful trees, but one needs to be very careful when pruning! We had 2 large and 3 small ones in Tempe, AZ. Many a time I backed right into those thorns as they lay on ground after pruning. Ouch!
