Normally wedges are used. Some species split easier than others and some don't really split at all. What species do you contemplate splitting?

Poplar is not very rot resistant, both species can be split. Splitting is easier when the wood is frozen.

Compared to what?
Poplar is what most split rail fences are made of because it is fairly rot resistant and tolerates years of weathering. Compared to other un-treated woods, poplar is an excellent choice.
Now if he could use treated wood for the posts that would be even better.
