Check with these guys down on 10th street, OKC. They grow Oklahoma hardy yuccas, cactus, trifolate orange, palms, etc.
Link to their mail order catalog. Other more common plants like roses, blackberries you should be able to get through a nursery or Home Depot/Lowes. Besides Honey Locusts, Osage Oranges are also native thorny trees that were used to fence cattle before barb wire was invented.

Quoted: I have a shop in downtown OKC that has recently begun to get a lot of homeless traffic. Probably because the fucking retards in the city council placed a new homeless shelter in a commercial/industrial area. Anywhoooo....the vagrants have made a habit of cutting through my property and I need to put a stop to it. They make a mess and have attempted to contaminate the fuel in my truck. This is about a 4' wide corridor, 6' fence on one side and steel building on the other, that I'd like to fortify. Concertina wire is tempting but expensive, barbed wire is cheaper but not all that scary and chainlink just gets cut. FM 5-15 has some great ideas though. That got me thinking bushes. I need something fast growing, resilient and a real bitch to walk through. Bamboo was my first thought, but what else is out there? Unconstrained growth isnt an issue, most everything else is concrete. defensive shrubbery |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Multi floral rose Nasty stuff, will cut a person to shreds once it matures, spreads a lot. Ran into that shit during a hunting trip in Ohio. It is legit nasty. Another suggestion, OP....you live in OK.....Osage Orange is native. Before barbed wire was invented, folks used to sell the seeds and seedlings across the country for building tough, thorny hedgerows. I recall reading they advertised it as: "Horse high, hog proof and bull strong inside of three years". Actually saw a an old Osage hedgerow that also had multiflora growing with it on that trip to Ohio. I don't think a snake could have gotten through without blood loss.  On the Osage, I was interested in planting some here. Your state's extension service actually sells seedlings one a first come, first served basis. A faster solution would be contacting local farmers and just transplanting small established saplings. |

Used to plant a lot of barberry, berberis thunbergii, around windows of high end houses. It will turn into a thorny tangle, and will grow as large as you want it. And they're decorative, plus their natural color covers blood stains.

Holly bushes are often used here, especially if you want it to still look sort of nice. I hate even pruning them because the points on the leaves are painful. Even a wino will sober up when they get a few pricks from them, and the woody part is resilient and strong. Plus, it's green year round, and here in SC at least holly is a native plant so it is well adapted and needs very little care once established.

Quote HistoryQuoted: what would the spacing need to be to make those work? Depends on how long you want to wait. Six to ten feet apart will make an impenetrable wall in ten years. With some work training them up, three foot spacing should get you good results in four years (from seed, two years from normal nursery transplant age). Not sure if you care either way, but the fruit that they produce is considered inedible - it has thick peel, it's full of seeds, and the minimal amount of juice is way too sour to drink. |

Rose bushes. You can probably go into the woods and pick shoots and get the root. If they get cut down they grow right back. Even if it’s somewhere not many people see it, I would still think you would want it to look halfway decent, so roses would look better than some other options.

I've used a mixture of those thorny locust trees, blackberry bushes and poison ivy/oak to dissuade people from the wooded area that runs down my property. Stuff was all there before but I've selectively cultivated it. Only the really young or dumb degenerates try to get through anymore. Last couple were young boys and I kind of felt bad for them. I warned them but they decided to try and fight through. I happened to be enjoying a cigar on the porch and watched as it took almost 20 minutes for the poor kids to get through 20yrds of the shit. They were bloody when finally got out. One was carrying one of those little metal scooters and it kept getting all tangled up. I'm guessing they were really in hell once the poison ivy took effect.

I plant Goji berries under my dining room windows. I’ve seen some stalks grow over 10 feet tall, and even the smallest branches have inch long thorns that can pierce leather gloves. I hate tending these plants, there’s no way to do it without getting stabbed.
Under my living room windows, I grow black and red currant bushes. They smell like cat piss, so strong that in the spring I can’t open the windows. |

Cholla comes in several varieties, all varying degrees of evil. "Jumping cholla" are especially nasty.
 The desert is full of plants that sit and wait to fuck up your day. Mesquite is also fast growing and covered in thorns.  Cat's claw (Wait a minute bush) is covered in little thorns.  |
