Robinia Pseudoacacia Improved Whips Listing is for Information only Also called Black Locust and False Acacia Native to the eastern US, planting and improvement have been most active in Hungary. Its hardwood is known to be very durable. https://www.wood-database.com/black-locust/ From Silvanus Forestry What they call Turbo Oberlik, which are 3 different clones https://silvanusforestry.com/en/turbo-obelisk-black-locust/ I have been told a minimum is at least 100 for the improved clones Turbo Obelisk from Hungary @ cost £5 each. I do not really want as many as 100 Whips. If anyone else would like to share an order? Or the appropriate forum to post on? Iain£0.01

Sweet Chestnut, best winter months to coppice
iain123 replied to iain123's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Hello Rough Thank you for all the very good advice, it obviously takes time to make good quality chesnut fence poles, a bit like dying wood out for firewood. Should i cleave the stakes before drying? I have two young healthy looking sweet chestnut trees that are about 18 years old. A Precoce Migoule and Marigoule they have produced abundant small shiny but unfortunately what looks like completely empty seed cases for years herein North Wales. As fence posts are always rotting here at ground level, i though i might be able to put the chestnut trees to another use, if they are never going to produce nuts. Iain -

Hello Garry112 Yes, I would cleaving rather than machining -
Hello Forum To make longer lasting fence post from sweet chestnut, i believe its best to coppice in the winter as the water content of the wood is at its lowest level. Are there any months which are better to achieve this lower water/sap content in the winter? Regards iain
