	Hawthorn Tree
		The bark is of a dull gray, and the boughs are usually beset with thorns.
		Thorns are pleasing when thus placed on the edge of the lawn or park, on the outside of the belt of trees, or in their most frequent situation, the hedgerow.
		Undoubtedly, however, the most effective use of Thorns is, either singly or in clumps, in the park, for they are rather too untidy for the lawn; or in the wild garden, especially on any elevated knoll.

	Whistling Thorn - Acacia dreparalobium
		The whistling thorn is an acacia tree commonly seen on the savannas of equatorial East Africa, particularly the Serengeti plain.
		Interspersed with these are modified thorns, called stipular spines, which are joined at the base by hollow bulbous swellings about 1 inch in diameter.
		It is believed that the ants have developed the habit of living in trees because the soil of the savanna turns spongy in the rainy season and dries out and cracks in the dry season.

		But the thorn tree fattened and grew strong, for the little bird watered the deep-seated roots of the ancient fl tree with its blood.
