Good shrubs for arrows?

If it's barberry, the wood will be bright yellow like osage when you cut it. It's invasive in lots of areas.

jonathan creason:
I don't think the wood was yellow, but I'd have to go cut some more to be sure.  It doesn't seem to be spreading from root sprouts or anything, and I haven't noticed any popping up from the berries around.  It's tougher than a pine knot, though.  I sprayed the crap out of it with glyphosate 2 weeks ago, and it's still green as a gourd.

A pic is worth a thousand words.  ;)

Well if you keep it under control it take years for it to get out of hand.  If u were to plant it in a flower box a bucket or a contained area u would be fine for invasive species.  Now if u dug a hole and planted it and went to prison for 20 years I would say "Houston we have a problem"... ::)  I dont remember the exact site but it was like Bamboo.com or something it was from a specialist in South Carolina...have a good day!

I'll try to get a pic later.  I guess I could ask my wife if she remembers, too  :D.
