softwood and hardwood

Pine Tree by Aaron Molina@flickr 

Softwood trees are my favourite type of trees. Softwood’s are mainly long and thin trunks but are not always. An example for softwood is scotish pine. Hardwood tress are better wood for the likes of building a door or a house like they do in Scandinavia. An example of a hardwood tree is a horse chesnut tree which is a famous type of tree. Why. Because that’s where conkers come from.
