    Hardwood is wood from dicot trees. These are usually found in broad-leaved temperate and tropical forests.

  1. hardwood

    Hardwood is a type of wood that comes from angiosperms (deciduous trees or broad-leaf trees). It tends to be more durable and denser than softwood, making it a preferred choice for furniture, flooring, and construction. Examples of hardwood include oak, walnut, mahogany, teak, and maple. Despite the name, hardness varies considerably, and some hardwoods (like balsa) are actually softer than some softwoods.

  1. Hardwood

    Hardwood is wood from angiosperm trees. It may also be used for those trees themselves: these are usually broad-leaved; in temperate and boreal latitudes they are mostly deciduous, but in tropics and subtropics mostly evergreen. Hardwood contrasts with softwood. Hardwoods are not necessarily harder than softwoods. In both groups there is an enormous variation in actual wood hardness, with the range in density in hardwoods completely including that of softwoods; some hardwoods are softer than most softwoods, while yew is an example of a hard softwood. Hardwood should not be confused with the term 'heartwood'.
