I don't know the answer, but if it has a soft milky white core, that
suggests to me it's not a woody tree as such but possibly a fast
growing shrub or perennial.


Try Sambucus nigra (elder, elderberry), which is soft-cored, and whose
young branches look rather like this.

Yes, I was going to suggest that earlier and having taken a look at
the picture I'd say it's almost certainly elder.

To the OP it won't make a very good stick for anything, elder isn't
very good wood for strength or toughness.
