Bush/shrub ID

[BTLowry]

About 10' tall so maybe not a bush/shrub but definitely not a tree either
Thought it was yaupon at first but has stickers all over the limbs.
Whatever it is it got basal sprayed with remedy/diesel

PictureThis Ap said Possumhaw holly one time and Cockspur Hawthorn the next. Not sure either is right ID as I do not ever remember seeing any "fruit" on them.

Smaller ones are slick bark and larger ones are rougher bark

Looks like a possumhaw to me.

That there is a Stud Stickerbush….Stickerus gigantus.

Possumhaw Holly

[BTLowry]

Thanks

Probably missed a few but sprayed them pretty hard while spraying honey and black locusts

Not possumhaw (deciduous holly), possumhaw is thornless. Believe this is Hercules club.

Almost looks like a Tickletounge tree, or also called Prickly Ash

my first thought ^^

Was thinking that too but the hard cracked bark and leaf
Didn’t seem right for prickly ash.

[DeerGeek]

Looks like lime prickly ash, but the rough bark has me confused.

Crush and smell some leaves. Prickly ash will have a citrus smell.

[BTLowry]

Definitely not prickly ash / tickle tongue. I know what that it and can get some pics of that too.
At least what was always called tickle tongue where I was raised

Its somekind of Hawthorne. Texas, Possum, etc. take your pick

I'm thinking possibly Cockspur Hawthorn.

There is so little difference in them, other than the Mayhaw.
