wood that comes from a cone-bearing tree is a ..... ( softwood or hardwood?)?

Answer 1

Softwood/Hardwood There are about 115 species of pine and evergreens that produce cone seeds.
Pines are divided into three subgenera, based on cone, seed and leaf characters:

* Subgenus Strobus (white or soft pines). Cone scale without a sealing band. Umbo terminal. Seedwings adnate. One fibrovascular bundle per leaf.
* Subgenus Ducampopinus (pinyon, lacebark and bristlecone pines). Cone scale without a sealing band. Umbo dorsal. Seedwings articulate. One fibrovascular bundle per leaf.
* Subgenus Pinus (yellow or hard pines). Cone scale with a sealing band. Umbo dorsal. Seedwings articulate. Two fibrovascular bundles per leaf.

Pines are native to most of the Northern Hemisphere. They range from the Arctic south to Nicaragua and Hispaniola, with the highest diversity in Mexico and California. In Eurasia, they range from Portugal and Scotland east to the Russian Far East, and the Philippines, and south to northernmost, the Himalaya and Southeast Asia, with one species (Sumatran Pine) just crossing the Equator in Sumatra. Pines are also extensively planted in many parts of the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer 2

That would be a soft-wood. The difference between softwood and hardwood is determined by the length of the fibers. Softwoods have longer fibers than hardwoods and due to that their wood is softer.

Answer 3

Mostly softwood. There are a select few that are different though, especially cedar which can be very hard, to the point of damaging tools when you work with it. Most pines and firs are softwood. That's what you usually see in lumber stores.

Answer 4

I've got hardwood. But what you are talking about is softwood.

Soft. They grow faster (evergreen means year round) and are therefor fluffier. Think pine.
