It will typically last in excess of 30 years in the ground without any form of preservative!
Unstained wood will age to a silver grey over time and will never need to be painted or stained in order to improve longevity.
As a member of the pea family it has nitrogen fixing nodules on its root system and so it can be used to colonise areas of extremely poor or previously contaminated soil.
