Hello, Can you help me identify this tree? I live in Cambridge along the Rum river. I have these small trees encroaching on my back yard. They are, for the most part, under 1" in diameter and 3 to 5 feet tall. There are single opposing thorns along the branches and some trunks. I'd like to start eradication while I'm in "lockdown". After a recent rain, I was able to pull a few of the smaller ones out of the ground with roots attached. If I do pull them out intact, what is the best disposal method. I do have a wood stove in my garage but the wood will probably be a bit green now for that. I do have a small brush pile where I will be using a wood chipper but it's probably not safe to store these trees until June or so when I get the wood chipper going. Thanks for your help.
