problems with using graphics objects in arrowheads

Hi Forum

I am trying to use the following command:

Graphics3D[{Arrowheads[{{.1, 1, tree}}, Appearance -> "Projected"], 
  Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, -0, 0.001}}], Green, 
  Cuboid[{-10, -10, -3}, {10, 10, -2.8}]}]

This is taken straight out of the arrowheads help section in mathematica help, and tree here is a graphics object that is inputted before this graphics command.

So, this command works fine. But the problem occurs if I try to use a different graphics object, other than the tree they provide in the example. I can't get any other graphics object to work here! Will it only work with a very particular kind of object?

Hope someone can help.
