Field Notes

Description:

Small tree with many trunks. Bark looks thin and scaly. Some of the smaller twigs have long thorns on them as can be seen in the picture. I can't tell the leaf arrangement; may be whorled or alternate. Except for the leaf tip, the leaves appear to be untoothed.

Habitat:

Dry oak-hickory forest on top of Pine Mountain, GA, USA. Elevation is 415 meters.

Any ID suggestions on this tree? I'm really curious to find out what it is. I spotted it on the Dowdell's Knob trail, F.D. Roosevelt State Park, in Georgia. Thin scaly bark, inch long thorns on some of the twigs. Thanks!
