Arrow wood?
« on: July 05, 2007, 01:09:50 pm »
Does anybody know how to find Arrowwood? Also called Viburnum. I have looked in my book but it does not have a good description. I have lots of sourwood to use, but I was wondering about arrowwood. Might like to try it . if i an find it.

Nugget, I believe arrow wood viburnum is Viburnum dentatum. Some grows around this area but not at my place. I do have V. prunifolium, Blackhaw Viburnum and Maple Leaf Viburnum, V. acerfolium, both of which will make arrows. I'll show you the Black Haw when you come to the camp-o-rama...heck, I'll give you some to try. ;)     Pat

Sounds like a plan Pat. I have loads of sourwood.But Bobby and I were wondering about the Arrowwood. I read an article about it in the magazine from a little while back. Good reading.

Arrow wood makes a good shaft, as do most other viburnums. They grow here and there throughout NC, mostly in the mountains and central Piedmont. They're also easy to propagate, transplant and grow.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.
