Firs are evergreens, have needles, produce cones (like pinecones) for reproduction, and are soft woods.

Oak trees shed their leaves in winter, have leaves to shed, produce nuts (acorns) for reproduction and are hard woods.

The difference between hard woods and soft woods is in the trunk and where the dividing line between the heartwood and sapwood exists. Oak is much harder to drive a nail into or cut than a fir.
