How does the Gharqad tree look like?

[Haitham Hamdan]

In Sahih Muslim: Book 041, Number 6985:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

This is how the tree looks like:

I think we call this "Keekar" in urdu, but it has a lot of thorns, for which it is famous. What is it called in English?
