Over 40,000 species of woody plants have been botanically identified, and of these some 10,000 are trees of some commercial importance – at least in their local environment. There are many factors which influence quality of growth and resulting value. Among these are the variations between climatic conditions, the effect of latitude, rainfall, temperature and the effects of mountain ranges, deserts and the Gulf Stream. Moreover, many tree species are represented by a number of species, which between them have a very wide natural distribution. Softwoods are derived from a class of trees known as conifers, which are cone-bearing, have needle-scale-like leaves and are usually evergreen. Hardwoods, on the other hand, come from a class of trees which bear broad leaves. In temperate climates such trees are usually deciduous, but there are evergreen hardwoods. The commoner softwoods, such as European redwood and whitewood, when grown in different parts of Europe, produce very different grades of timber. The farther north a conifer grows, the better timber it will produce, as the rate of growth is slower than in the warmer southern climate. The “annual rings” are narrower, and the timber is more even in texture and more valuable. There are two general categories of hardwoods: temperate hardwoods and tropical hardwoods. When one studies the timber trade it is important to have a broad geographical background of the various producing and exporting countries.
