If you cut them green and plant them they will sprout. We usually let them cure out for a year. One thing for sure, they will last a lot longer if you take the bark off. Also if you have a 55 gallon barrel fill it with posts and dump in old motor oil till it is a couple feet deep in the barrel and let them sit like that for several months (cover to keep the rain out). The rise and fall of air pressure will draw oil up into the posts and keep them from sprouting too. There are several old fence posts around here that are 75 years old or older. The best one is hedge apple. the others are red cedar that had no sap wood on it when cut square and locust with no bark. all are still in good shape.
