This tree is young I'm guessing,  so it's skinny and maybe 10 feet tall. It has thorns like a honey locust but the leaves are different.  It appears to be growing right out of an apple tree stump.

It looks like a cretaegus, might have been the rootstock of the apple, long ago.

That is excellent!  I'll try taking cuttings from it and add to my living edge this year.

Thank you.
