[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 545760, member: 7509"] I would not use live growing trees as fence posts and especially not corner posts if I wanted a long lasting fence. The tree will swallow the wire in just a few years. The swallowed wire tends to rust and break and is impossible to tighten. If you are looking for a temporary fence then using trees is attractive. Personally since you are going to have heavy equipment in there anyway to clear much of the fence line I would recommend doing it right and put in true posts on the corners especially where they can be braced correctly. Fixing a fence in 5 years is more work than putting it in correctly the first time. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
