In upstate NY, thorn-apples are low shrubby trees with 1.5" thorns.
They tend to take over abandoned pasture land and few creatures will

or silver paint, makes a fun winter holiday tree if you put gum-drops
on each thorn and place branch in a sturdy vase. A great scout project. L

No, it was never known as a "thorn apple". That nickname goes to a
poisonous weed that is also known as jimeson weed or more properly
datura stramonium.

Some folks call the osage orange a thorn apple, or hedge apple.Maybe
