Osage orange is the best I ever heard of, but Black locust is also very good. We put up a black locust flag pole back in 1976 for the bicenntenial and it is still standing although it is leaning a bit since it was put up on the edge of a steep hill. Walnut is also a very good fence post wood but folks are too scared to cut it thinking it will be worth a fortune. Once the sap wood rots off a walnut can lay on the ground for twenty years.

He filled a barrel half full and stacked vertically all the posts inside he could fit and then toppped off the oil in the barrel and let them sit for several months covered over to keep water out. The oil would work its way up the channels in the wood and helped keep termites from enjoying a meal. Poor mans creasote he called it. He said he had several posts over 75 years old treated like that at his place.
