Hi there, evergreens will not come back if you cut them down as their life is in the green and they dont put out new shoots. Thorns need to be pulled up by the roots--be careful there may be a root at each end of a long thorn as they put down new roots every time they touch the ground. You are right--they will come back if you just cut them back so get the roots out. You say you are in a rented house--is it not landlords job to sort out the garden? Do you need landlords permission to get rid of trees?
