Best Variety of Black Locust to coppice for polewood?

Does anyone know which variety of black locust is more suited for pole wood? I’ve read that there are different varieties but have had a hard time finding anything specific on it being a “straighter” growth pattern.

I love what you're thinking Cherish!  I don't know if this one will provide you with great straight poles or not, but the Experimental Farm Network currently has seeds of a straighter growing Hungarian timber form available.  https://store.experimentalfarmnetwork.org/products/nyirseg-black-locust

Maybe if you email them they might have some information on if this strain is used in coppice pole production.  I'd love to know that too!

Greg-
Thank you so much. I just selected the link you provided and it says they got their seed through Sheffield’s, which I actually have found prior and I reached out and the representative there said that the two varieties they sell aren’t good for pole wood, although the link you listed says it is. I think it’s going to take some trial and error. We will see and I will update here for growth patterns.

i suspect a somewhat tight spacing will help with initial straightness.
