HT, I've got three in my hunting quiver with hornstone points on them. They are easier to work than rose, but nothing like cane. Choose larger diameter shoots due to shrinkage. I still cut them in the winter when I find cause its local material. It's called Amur honeysuckle here ( Lonicera maackii )
