Arrowwood photo taken in 2011 in August. I just looked at this bush yesterday and it is almost covered with blossoms.

The limbs are as straight as arrows and were probably used for arrows when it could be found in the wild. Otherwise, the Native Americans used cane or shaped other branches to become arrows.
