Plant Identification - DONE

[Klipspringer]

What plant is this, all the branches and trunk has long very sharp thorns

Where is this, Harry?

As Lisbeth is saying looks oleander-like and Nerium oleander is a popular ornamental, does Oleander have thorns on the trunk

IF it is Oleander and it is in your garden, keep in mind that it is highly toxic.

Pachypodium lamerei

Native to Madagascar, but popular ornamental.

Probably also toxic to cats and dogs, do some research!

Very harmful to humans if they fall into it

Pit up a warning sign, a fence and educate your dogs to not eat or sniff any fruits, leaves etc

[Lisbeth]

It is definitely not an oleander

[Klipspringer]

It is definitely not an oleander

But has the same leaves and is in the same family

Well done for directing us to the correct ID

[Lisbeth]

The same family Seeing the trunk, I would never have thought so

It is such a lovely plant with flowers for the whole summer. It makes me think of the sea. They are planted all the way from Genova to Ventimiglia in the middle of the motorway
