Whether a wood is a softwood or a hardwood depends on the tree it comes from. Trees are either coniferous (which means they bear cones and have needle shaped leaves that stay green all year round) or deciduous (trees that have flat leaves that fall in autumn). The wood that comes from the coniferous tree is the softwood and the timber (wood) that comes from deciduous trees is known as hardwood.
