Zanthoxylum americanum
Zanthoxylum americanum is a prickly, deciduous shrub or small tree that produces suckers and can form dense thickets; it can grow from 1 - 8 metres tall. The plant is harvested from the wild for use mainly as a medicine, but is also the source of an essential oil and the seeds are used as a condiment. The plant is occasionally grown as an ornamental where its prickly nature and suckering habit can produce an effective barrier.
