I don't envy you. I spent a few days in early June working on a hedge that had 3 of those blackthorns in them, and we have one as an ornamental in our front garden that occasionally tries to get out of control. I just use a chainsaw and thick gloves. Even so, I had one put a thorn about 1/4" into my hand not too long ago.
