What Are Hardwoods?

There are two main categories of timber: hardwoods and softwood. Hardwood refers to timber from broad-leaved, deciduous trees, which means that they shed their leaves every year. They also have protected seeds, such as those growing in fruit or within a shell, rather than exposed seeds, e.g. pine cones. These hardwood species include Ekki, Oak, Opepe, Massaranduba, and Pituca, though the full list is much longer!
