Is it
worth my time to try to grow a few hundred of these or not?
A HUNDRED! I think they grow slowly (am I wrong? could be) Do you
have a lot of time?
LOL...
What I read said that for a hedge fence, you plant them 1 foot apart and
within 4 years, your 'fence' will be "horse high, bull-strong, and
hog-tight" in 4 years

I figured after 15-20 years, I should have some good fenceposts.
Apparently, from just reading between the lines, it is suitable for
coppicing, too. I need to research that to make sure.
