According to legend, the dogwood tree used to grow tall and straight and strong, and it was used as the cross of crucifiction. Ever since then, it grows small and crooked, with flowers that represent the four wounds.
No basis in fact, this is just the story I've heard.

Most likely Cedar. The legend says dogwood, but cedar from Lebanon was the most aboundant and strong wood the Romans knew about.

Oak or Aleppo Pine would be the most likely, in my opinion. Due to the expense and other uses, I doubt cedar, cypress or ebony would have been used for executions. Acacia, chestnut and box trees would also work, but had other commercial interests.
