“Game Of Thorns” Trees

I found some strange and dangerous trees on the property. They’ve got these crazy long pointy things – I guess you could call them thorns, but they are more like daggers. About three inches long, sharp and hardened, these can do some serious damage. And the trees in question have these every 4-6 inches or so. It’s some Game of Thrones sh!t I tell you. In fact, it’s GAME OF THORNS!

There’s a group of trees along the front of the property and it turns out there there was a small cluster of the Game of Thorns trees right at the near end of this area. Since we wanted to open this up a little bit, anyway, I (very carefully) removed the five Game of Thorns trees today. It’s fascinating to me that the thorns were about as long as the trees were in diameter. That’s some serious defense plan!

For the record, these are apparently honey locust trees.

Anyway, with a small chainsaw and a set of loppers I was able to remove the five trees and break them down into small enough pieces to tuck them away in a wooded corner of the property. I may want to burn these later as an exorcism of sorts. LOL!
