Sometimes classified as a species, sometimes as the subspecies deltoides. A large tree with light wood that prefers damp silt or fine sand. It has the fastest growth rate among forest-inventory trees in North America. Uses: timber; pulpwood, veneers. [133] All
The whole database contains materials from over 10,000 woody species and 200 plant families. Initiator for this wood anatomy database has been the American botanist and wood scientist Elisabeth Wheeler. The database contains two distinctive menus for specific anatomical features of modern wood species: Softwoods [6] Hardwoods [7]
It contains ripe wood in the outer crust. The colour of this ripened wood is dark brown. It is strong, durable and fibrous. Palm is used for furniture, roof covering, rafters and joists.

Quercus stellata, the post oak or iron oak, is a North American species of oak in the white oak section. It is a slow-growing oak that lives in dry areas on the edges of fields, tops of ridges, and also grows in poor soils, and is resistant to rot, fire, and drought. Interbreeding occurs among white oaks, thus many hybrid species combinations ...
Pinus, the pines, is a genus of approximately 111 extant tree and shrub species. The genus is currently split into two subgenera: subgenus Pinus (hard pines), and subgenus Strobus (soft pines). Each of the subgenera have been further divided into sections based on chloroplast DNA sequencing [1] and whole plastid genomic analysis. [2]
