But, how did you manage to find trees with 10' long straight trunks to make posts?

Few and far between!

Hedge posts make great fence posts. I have taken out many line posts that the old timers, dead now for 30 years, said were put in before their time. After a few years, corner posts are easily burned. When doing controlled burns, I make it a practice to check them after the fire passes. I have saved myself a lot of work doing this.

I remember going with my dad and cutting up hedge posts.. I learned to wear gloves handling it,,, that sap is pretty hard to wash off your hands.
Dad used the scraps for firewood in the wood burning stove… had to be careful with it because that stuff burned mighty hot.
