Hardwood is this term used to describe timber from non-monocot angiosperm trees. Hardwoods are usually broad-leaved; in temperate and boreal latitudes they are mostly deciduous, but in tropics and subtropics mostly evergreen. In general hardwood species are higher in density and hardness than softwoods, although there is an enormous variation in actual wood hardness in both groups. Hardwoods are suitable for a large range of applications including construction, furniture and flooring.
