Capparis decidua

Capparis decidua is a small much branched tree or shrub of arid regions. It bears a mass of slender, leafless branches, the small caducous leaves being found only on young shoots.

As it is drought resistant and withstands neglect, this species could be particularly useful in arid areas as a live hedge providing edible fruits.
