Gang:

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,

TFB
