The tree you’re describing is likely the Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia), specifically some varieties that can develop thorns or spines. While standard Crape Myrtles are typically thornless, certain hybrids or related species may exhibit this trait. Another possibility is the Barbados Cherry (Malpighia emarginata), which can resemble a Crape Myrtle and has thorny branches. Both plants are known for their vibrant flowers and can be found in similar growing conditions.
The difference is in the pruning. You have to prune the crepe myrtle to have a single main stem to become a tree. If it has several main stems, it becomes a bush.
The domain for a crepe myrtle, as a plant, is Eukaryota.

The density of crepe myrtle wood typically ranges from about 35 to 45 pounds per cubic foot (approximately 560 to 720 kg/m³). This variation in density can depend on factors such as the specific species of crepe myrtle and its growing conditions. Generally, crepe myrtle wood is considered to be moderately dense, making it suitable for various woodworking applications.
My crepe myrtle died this year. It would have been at least 50 years old.
Everyone who wants to know this you all suck!

No, crepe myrtle is not toxic to horses. However, if a horse eats too much it can cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
Not sure about that... I am sure the goats are toxic to the crepe myrtles if you give them the chance...
They are Bark Lice
