Discussion
According to R. J. O’Kennon (1991), Paliurus spina-christi is naturalized in thicket-forming populations for about 25 km along the flood plains of the Pedernales River and two tributaries in Gillespie County; it is now documented from several locations downstream along the Pedernales in adjacent Blanco County. In this area, it apparently spread from hedgerows planted in the late 1880s along one of the tributaries. It is also documented as naturalized in open woods in Brazos County, perhaps escaping from plantings at Texas A&M University in College Station.
