Read in Swedish: Jerusalemtörne
Jerusalem thorn, Parkisonia aculeata in Latin, is a big bush or small tree which you can see now and then here in Greece as well. It's common in Mexico, Africa and in Australia where it unfortunately has become a problem.
The fruit pulp is sweet and eatable I read at World Agroforestry Centre, but the tiny leaves are toxic.
The tree trunk is green and the lovely flowers yellow and orange. Small and spiky leaves!
This tree has many names; Mexican Palo Verde, Jelly Bean tree, Barbados Flower fence (a great fast growing, beautiful and spiky fence!), Wonder tree, Blue Palo Verde, Hardbean, Horsebean, Parkinsonia, Palo Verde, Ratama in Spain, Takataka tree...
Have a nice day!
