So I was out laying a track for the bloodhounds to find me today. While I wait for the hound I'm always checking my surroundings for things to photograph (with my phone). I saw several of these "sticks" with rings of thorns. There were no leaves on any of them.....some were around 6' tall, others 2-3' tall. What are they?  |

It may be Aralia spinosa, commonly known as devil's walking stick, sometimes called Hercules' club, prickly ash, or prickly elder. They lose their leaves in winter leaving behind a trunk with large thorns looking like a spine covered walking stick.
