100 thorns gone, 1 yearly clip left!

#BeforeAndAfter

There had to be 100 thorns on this tree! I guess I'll be clipping thorns off once a year. ๐Ÿคฃ

Missed one!!! Middle top right under the leaves where the branch bends.
@Gordo totally worth it.
You are a brave woman!!
What kind of tree has such threatening thorns?
@Pegster it's a beautiful Brazilian Raintree! When the foliage grows in, it's quite striking. ๏ฟผ
Thanks. I will find a picture of this tree.
@Pegster Here it is last fall:

The tree is very beautiful. Thanks for the link.
Painful! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ
Sarah, nice job!! And is that a beautiful Ficus Tree in the background?? Lovely
@PerkyPlantGirl better than in my eye! Those thorns shot through the air. I've been sweeping and they are everywhere today. ๐Ÿ˜…
@LovingSunnyAZ I don't have a big ficus in that room. You might be noticing the Giganteum or the China Doll. Winter has been tough on the Giganteum, bless its heart.
@sarahsalith this oneโ€ฆ.!
@LovingSunnyAZ that's the China Doll. I recently got it from my "dealer" (the sweetest lady at the local farm supply store). โ˜บ๏ธ
@sarahsalith oh my gosh! Yeah thank goodness you havenโ€™t already been stabbed! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™
@sarahsalith it is a beauty!!! ๐Ÿ’– (you must have a good โ€œdealerโ€!!! LoL)
Thanks for the heads up. I have a young one now.
@SubAlp you're gonna love it! It grows SO FAST! When I got it, it was about six inches tall and eight inches wide. Once you cut the thorns, the ones you cut don't grow back, it's just the new ones you've got to watch out for.
@Jilliebeanstalk Good eyes!! I'll go snip it.
