Russ, the berries on the multi   flora roses are really good eating or make ya some rose hip tea, I really like the rose hips after they have been frosted, Kinda tart an some or seedy with little fruit but some have more fruit an are full of vit. c. I,m pretty sure you have red osier an silky dogwood in your area. WE have lots of both here. Later Bob

jamie:
elderberry will make a good dart too russ. this time of year is great for identifying the plants by their berry. with the viburnums i find the best material along field edhes and along the creeks.

AncientArcher76:
Thanks Jamie I got some river cane from Bill Skinner and it drying and I been hacking lots of the muliflorarose and  some shrubs.  I will get a few pics up soon to show progress! 

Thanx

Russ

I have made atlatl darts out of tamarisk and they worked quite well. Around here all of the rivers ar inundated with it.
