I am just wondering whether the treated poles used for staking trees is a bad idea to use for fruit trees?  I have bought them from Lowes and Home Depot.  I am not sure exactly what they are treated with or why, but I have used them up until now with flowering trees and am now thinking twice before I plant my little orchard.

Does anyone have information or opinions on the use of these "treated" poles?

Thanks in advance for any information...
