Antelope brush was first collected by Lewis and Clark in
Montana in 1806. It is a light weight yet very durable hardwood being in the
Rose Family of plants. Antelope brush is found from the desert to the
mountains, often growing with sagebrush. Native Americans made a purple dye
from the seed coat of antelope brush, and the bark was used to make diapers
and moccasins. This is probably the most ornamental wood I have seen so far.
Unfortunately, it doesn't grow as large as Juniper or Sagebrush, but the
beauty of it more than makes up for that.
Branches are 2" to 3" diameter, 3' to 4' long. Minimum
