H3 is weather proof, H5 means it can be put in the ground and not rot. We used an acrylic paint to try to prevent any seepage, hopefully it's less harmful than the wood treatment stuff :/ We have macrocarpa here, I really like the idea but it’s prohibitively expensive.

If you're taking votes, I like peaches better than nectarines. ;) As a side note, I'm not familiar with H3 treatment, but is it safe for foods? I have to be careful not to use treated lumber here around my garden as the treatment chemicals are nasty and leach out into the ground (and into my veggies). We use cedar or redwood instead, since those are both naturally resistant to bugs and rotting. Sounds delicious… in a few years. If you’re taking votes, I like peaches better than nectarines. ;)
