Is the baobab tree hard or soft wood?

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.


What is the difference between hardwood and softwood trees?

Hardwood trees have broad leaves and are angiosperms, while softwood trees have needle-like or scale-like leaves and are gymnosperms. Hardwood trees are typically deciduous, shedding their leaves annually, while softwood trees are usually evergreen, keeping their foliage year-round. Additionally, hardwood trees are generally denser and slower growing compared to softwood trees.
