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.
