I have two growing in my front yard, and no, they do not have thorns. But they do have beautiful flowers. And they smell nice, too.

No. No thorns. It is not commonly planted in the parts of the US where it grows best, because it has naturalized and has become thought of as a weed. Its gangly shape is also undesireable, but with judicious training in youth it can become a beautiful tree.

I sure don't remember any from the last ones I potted up at work. They always find me so the answer is no, unless they develop much later.
