Rick,
Up here in Maine everyone uses Cedar for posts. I believe it's Eastern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis) I've never looked into establishing a planting as I've got a bunch growing on my land. I've even sawn some up and used it to make benches for my outdoor hot tub and it's held up well.

My question remains: What tree species do people recommend for rot-resistant
timber in cool temperate zones? I don't want to rely on big companies
providing me with toxics just to have a fence post that lasts longer than 5
years.
