Looks like autumn olive to me.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Never tried it. I wouldn't be surprised if it does. Its stringy and tough.

Russian Olive looks like that too and is invasive around here. Seems pretty tough like it would make good arrows.
