Balsa wood comes from the balsa tree, which is a tropical tree belonging to the genus Ochroma. It is considered a hardwood, but it is not deciduous; instead, it is classified as a softwood due to its rapid growth and lightweight characteristics. Balsa trees are evergreen and retain their leaves throughout the year.

Not all do. Some deciduous trees such as the larch and cypress are classified as "Softwood". Some hardwood trees like Balsa have wood that is much softer than most softwoods.
