Thorn trees can be killed using one of two approaches. The first and more historical approach is to use slash and burn. To start, the bark must be cut into around the bottom of the tree. The cut should go all the way around the tree and be at least 2 inches from bottom of cut to top. This is a slow process as you must ensure the bark is not able to heal and that the wound continues to stay open. After a year or two, the tree will begin to die and rot. It is better in most cases to burn the tree close to where it is fell as to not scatter the thorns and promote growth elsewhere. Likewise, thorns can flatten tires even on the thickest tractor tires. The second approach is to saw down the tree leaving about a foot stump. Dope the stump with a brush-killing spray. Crossbow spray works very well. Perhaps both approaches could be combined.
