HARDWOOD: They usually have broad leaves, plus their trees have closed/hidden seeds! Lastly, hardwood is also water-resistant, especially when compared to softwoods.
SOFTWOODS: They are less water-resistant. Plus, they have what are called ‘naked seed plants. Softwoods species are also much less common than hardwood species (hardwood are almost 100 times more varied)!
Birches are considered to be broadleaf trees because they have flat, broad leaves, as opposed to needleleaf trees which have thin, needle-like leaves (such as pine or spruce trees).
Hardwoods came from hardwood or angiosperm trees. They are usually classified as hardwoods because of their physical structure and make up. They are commonly denser and more expensive than others like softwoods.One good example of hardwood is the oak beam which is very useful to different industries.
The types of forest trees include conifers (such as pine, spruce, and fir trees) and broadleaf trees (such as oak, maple, and beech trees). Conifers typically have needle-like or scale-like leaves and produce cones, while broadleaf trees have broader, flat leaves and produce flowers and fruits.
The scientific term for hardwood refers to wood derived from angiosperm trees, which are trees that produce flowers and seeds. Hardwoods typically have a denser structure compared to softwoods, which come from gymnosperm trees like pines. Common characteristics of hardwoods include a complex cellular structure with vessels that contribute to their strength and durability. Examples of hardwoods include oak, maple, and cherry.
Broadleaf trees typically produce seeds in various forms, including nuts, capsules, drupes, and samaras. For example, oaks produce acorns, while maples produce winged samaras. Some broadleaf trees, like cherries and plums, produce fleshy drupes. These seed types vary depending on the species and their adaptations for dispersal.
Softwoods are from needle-leaf trees like pines and firs. Hardwoods are from broadleaf trees.
Broadleaf.
Trees such as Oak, Maple, Mahogany, and Willow are hardwoods. Note that pine trees are NOT hardwoods but softwoods.

Broad leaves if from hardwood trees.
Conifer trees and Broadleaf trees.
Birches are considered to be broadleaf trees because they have flat, broad leaves, as opposed to needleleaf trees which have thin, needle-like leaves (such as pine or spruce trees).
purple leafs
Yes, but it is usually insignificant.
Broad leaf trees produce hardwoods.
No. It's a softwood. The difference isn't a matter of wood density. Softwoods come from needle-leaf trees, and hardwoods come from broadleaf trees. The softest wood in the world is balsa, which is extremely soft and lightweight...but because balsa trees are broadleaf, balsa is a hardwood. On the other hand, Radiata pine is roughly as hard as mahogany - which is unquestionably a hardwood - but because it's a needle-leaf tree it is a softwood.
yes, it is a hardwood tree...
