What Types Of Trees Are Hardwood Trees?

2/27/2019

What type of trees are hardwood trees? Hardwoods mostly are deciduous trees, have flat, broad leaves and thick inner wood. They are familiar sights all across the US.

These tree types are harvested to make durable decks, flooring, furniture, and home remodels. They don’t grow as fast as softwood trees, making hardwoods treasured harder to replace. Though they grow practically anywhere in the nation and make up over 35% of all trees, most folks can’t point out more than two or three types.

How do you think you can do? Like a knowledgeable tree specialist, do you know a lot about trees? How many of the most common hardwood trees could you recognize by just the leaves?

Bur Oak

Over 50% of all hardwoods in North America are oak trees. The Bur Oak is the most well-known oak in the States, and it can grow to over 150 feet tall. This wood is almost always referred to as white oak. It's fungal and insect resistant and is frequently used in flooring and construction.

Red Oak

Easily noticeable by its red leaves in the autumn, the Red Oak can grow over 85 feet tall. Growing in acidic soil, it is frequently used for flooring, fence posts, and firewood.

Sugar Maple

No argument, this tree is one of the most productive US trees. The Sugar Maple makes a hugely impressive contribution to the world: maple syrup. This is good for pancake and waffle lovers since it takes over 35 gallons of tree sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup. Recognized by their "helicopter" winged seeds and colorful fall leaves, this tree is perhaps the most famous tree on this list. Certain types in America have been recorded as being over 350 years old. A Sugar Maple's wood is the thickest of all maple wood and is used mostly in flooring and furniture.

Silver Maple

This tree is right behind the Sugar Maple as being the most abundant tree in North America. With leaves that look almost like the Sugar Maple, the Silver Maple's leaves are thinner with more definite points. Like the Red Maple, it is tolerant of urban atmosphere and quite hearty, making it the best tree to be planted near expressways. A wide selection of uses for this wood includes cabinets, instruments, crates, and pulp for paper.
