Best Answer

Gymnosperm trees such as the conifers are softwoods. Those are your pines, cedars, larches, spruces, cypress, ginkgo and other trees that don't produce flowers.

The term has little meaning relative to the hardness of the wood since some hardwood trees have wood that is softer than the wood of some softwoods.
