I have 4 plants, they are now 5ft plus have thorns throughtout the pale green stems and on the underneath spine of the 1ft leaves and the actual leaf itself, at the end of each branch off the stem appears to be some sort of flower head. Love to know what they are cannot wait to see what happens next Patricia

Sounds like Aralia elata to me, possibly even Aralia spinosa from the USA sometimes called Devils Walking Stick.
