Hardwood trees have broad leaves and are angiosperms, while softwood trees have needle-like or scale-like leaves and are gymnosperms. Hardwood trees are typically deciduous, shedding their leaves annually, while softwood trees are usually evergreen, keeping their foliage year-round. Additionally, hardwood trees are generally denser and slower growing compared to softwood trees.
