Larch is a softwood and a deciduous conifer.
Deciduous trees lose their leaves in the autumn. Not softwood trees. Almost every conifer is softwood and they never lose all their needles. Well at least if they are living.
I need the awnser
To my knowledge, any deciduous tree ( A tree that loses it's leaves in the winter) is considered a hardwood. Even the Tulip Poplar tree that is most often mistaken for a softwood, is a hardwood tree.
what do the leaves look like on a hardwood tree
Hardwood comes from trees with wide leaves, while softwood comes from conifers like cypress and pines. The chestnut tree is a hardwood tree.
It is a tree that loses its leaves in the fall. : )
A syllogism

Deciduous.
A deciduous tree loses it's leaves before winter.
It is a hardwood. I have long understood it to be as simple as, if the tree never loses it's needles/leaves (is an evergreen), it is a softwood. Even Balsa is a hardwood. If the leaves drop each year due to cold, it is a hardwood. However, I don't know if trees in tropical climates ever lose their leaves. So I learned that hardwoods surround their seed with some sort of covering (such as chestnut, walnut and apple trees) whereas evergreens (softwoods) let their seeds drop to the ground.
Deciduous.
