What is gopher wood?
Answer 1Gopher wood is only mentioned once in the Bible- it was the word used for the wood that made up Noah's Ark. No one really knows what Gopher wood was, as the name has long fallen into disuse. However, it is likely that the wood was either Cypress or Cedar - possibly Cedar of Lebanon which grows abundantly in that area. This fits well with the properties needed for gopher wood if it was used foir the ark - that it should be durable and rot resistant - as cedar fits this description well.Answer 2Actually, there is a Gopher tree...there are plenty and they are in a little town in North Florida, I grew up there and Gopher trees do exist, it is the only area in the world that Gopher trees grow, and no they are not "Cypress trees" they are indeed Gopher trees..Note on the above:It must be realised, as far as the reader is concerned, that, contrary to the above, the Florida 'Gopher', while sharing a name with the Biblical tree, is not the same species as the Biblical Gopher. The Florida Gopher - or Torreya taxifolia - is native to Eastern Asia and North America only, and not the Middle East. The Biblical 'gopher ( גפר, gofer) wood has several possible identities, as listed above: cypress, or cedar or even pine. One other theory, although unlikely, is that the Hebrew word 'gofer' is a corruption of 'kofer' meaning 'pitch' so that 'gopher wood' simply means wood of a unspecified type that has been made waterproof by coating it with thick tar or pitch.

Shittim wood and gopher wood are often thought to refer to different types of wood mentioned in the Bible.
