Hi Fluffy:
A couple of ideas stand out to me if you could
indulge me...
If you are endeavoring poles that are strait and
able to withstand the elements, try arborvitae
or red cedar. Del is right, Ironwoods are like
steel and shoot up pretty quick from seed.
Maybe white ash, the baseball bat stock, but not
known for resistance to the elements but very hard.
Red cedar will grow to 8 ft from a seedling in as
little as 3 to 4 yrs depending on conditions.
Arborvitae although soft (Wood used in pencil
production) will fend and ward off the elements for some
time without any treatment.
If I could ask, what is your intent with this in
order to better formulate an answer for you? Do you want
the tree/s in question to be growing to be used in
your plan or an arbor or trellis.
Best of growing,
~Gianni

Hello...
I am seeking a bit of advice.
I am trying to figure out what tree I should plant form seed in order
to get a small "pole". Pears immediately sprang to mind, and
perform exceptionally well, but I am open to other options. I want a
very hard durable wood, and a beautiful wood to boot. It is imperative
that it naturally grows in a verticle fashion to minimize training.
Basically I am trying to grow wood that is straight, about 8 feet in
length and 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. I want a very hard durable
wood, and a beautiful wood to boot. It is imperative that it naturally
grows in a verticle fashion to minimize training.
Thanking you in advance for any consideration you give this matter,
