Just mixin the pot!!! He knows about the problem. Some of the thorns are 3 inches log and hard as nail. This not like getting stuck by a ROSE bush.

As a kid, my neighbor lost his eye when he was playing around outside at night around some rose bushes. Just never forgot.

We use to cut them down on the farm and burn the stump out of the ground. That is the only way, we could keep them from growing back.
Fixed a lot of tractor tires because of these trees.

When reporting trees, I limit defects to defined hazardous.
