Identify this tree!


Here is an interesting tree that I found in California, there were several surrounding the hotel/motel where I was staying. It would certainly deter people from climbing them. The tree was about 30 feet high with all these nasty protrusions. And the thorns were very strong - I tried to detach one one so that I could examine it more thoroughly - I needed a stronger implement than my pen or fingers. My pocket knife (with a 1 1/2 inch blade) was confiscated in Roanoke.

No-one would slide down them either, trying to avoid paying for a room.

Those thorns were very sharp.
