Do citrus trees have thorns?
Answers:
the kind you buy at the nursery are usually hybrids and bred not to have thorns,, however if you plant a seed from one of these they will revert to the original thorny state!! most fruit trees have thorns in the wild to protect their fruit!! figs are not fruit and do not have thorns!!

mine sure doesn't! i've never seen one with thorns. rub a leaf between two fingers and you'll smell citrus!
Some do and some don't like lime trees have thorns but orange trees don't......
Yes, they do. The lime trees are much worse than the lemon trees.
Oh my gash, I just asked this question to a friend of mine, because I just moved into a house and it has one fig tree and 3 orange trees. I thought that all the trees(orange) were the same, until I was cutting some limbs off and stuck myself with one of the thorns on the orange tree. I freaked out, because I never thought that they had thorns. I figured it was a fluke of nature,and it did not like me cutting on it. Well I found out that some citrus trees have thorns(go figure!!) so yes they do I have 2. the 3rd tree was a regular orange tree with no thorns.
i have an orange tree in my back yard and it has thorns growning on it but we also have a conquat tree but it has no thorns
No.
Yes they do some kinds of citrus fruit do have huge thorns! I work in an North East Coast garden center and we import all kinds of lemon,limes,oranges,grapefruit... etc. And some of them have inch long or better thorns!
lemon trees do orange trees don't
Yes of course some citrus trees have thorns, some are more likely to have thorns when they are young. I dont think its really anything to worry about though.
They might. As already mentioned, it depends on where they originally came from.
I have a grapefruit tree that I planted from seed and it has some wicked thorns. I have another planted from a nursery sapling and it has almost no thorns, but still has a few.
If you are wanting to grow some and avoid the thorns, I would buy an already well established plant.
My lemon tree has thorns! It depends on the variety of the citrus tree. Some varieties of lemons, oranges, etc have thorns, some do not. I think most that are grown from seed do. Mine was grown from a seed, so has thorns and is sterile. Nearly all citrus trees must be grafted to produce fruit.
Here is a link from a nursery about the care of your citrus tree:
