Most are made from the pine tree, treated to keep bugs and decay away with creosote, a type of tar. Newer poles are made from aluminum that will last many more years than the wooden type. Some poles were made from cypress, but when fixed in place, they sprouted new growth, making pole trimming a pain for the electrical workers.
