Off Topic: How long would a 2x8 untreated cedar board last? *PIC*

Greetings All,

I have a somewhat off topic questions - Would anyone have a guess on how long an untreated 2x8 Cedar board last submerged?

It would be used in the following hydroponics application as the center hollow post (found out the PVC center post they suggest is not food/water safe)

On a side note, it seems Starboard is rated food/water safe - but seems quite pricey in longer pieces?
