Some new seedling SEH cultivars are completely thornless,and some are thorny, however, this makes harvesting much easier. Harvesting is simpler if all the berries ripen at once, and the tree is then shook and the fruit is caught in sheets underneath the tree and then placed in gallon baskets for roadside market sales.
