Thank Badger, that's where I got it from, they are very good to talk to, very knowledgable people, and were cheaper than a source here in Michigan ! (where I live)

Hey Dan I live in Michigan also just north of Clarkston. Keep me informed on how it grows. I have a sandy  soil so I don't know how it will do. But this sounds real interesting to me. I'm going to check out those sites you listed. If nothing else I'll have a real cool privacy fence.

I bought a viburnum dentatum plant this year and will be planting a hedge of them in the hope of eventually getting arrows.

I too have sandy soil (live near sand/ gravel pit) and they said it will do fine. Said it likes sandy soil. They along with the place here in Michigan just didn't think the arrow bamboo would make it, in fact the mibamboo website lists arrow bamboo but he told me he no longer has it.

How does Red Ozier dogwood do up in Michigan?

I have some of it in my back yard along with some other wild dogwood varieties. They are all putting out branches that are straight and long.
These trees were planted two and three years ago. They were left over trees from a reforestation project. (Read that as "FREE"!)

I'll be trying some of it for arrows soon.

I know dogwood grows here, off the top of my head I cannot think who has some, I am not familiar with that variety, keep us posted on how it works !
