Beech counts as a hardwood tree, for it has flowers.
The distinction between hardwood and softwood is a poor one, and really is between Angiosperms and Gymnosperms.
For example, Balsa wood, one of the softest and lightest woods is classified as a hardwood because it flowers.

∙ 13y agoIt's a Hardwood. The terms Hardwood and Softwood have no great value, and instead one should be speaking of Angiosperms or Gymnosperms, - generally the conifers, and the broad-leaf trees.
Balsa for example is a hardwood - and that's a pretty useless adjective for this wood.
