    1)Exogenous  Trees

These trees increases in bulk by growing outwards and distinct consecutive rings are formed in the horizontal section of such a tree. These rings are k own as the annual rings because one such ring is added every year and these rings are useful in predicting the age of tree. Timbers from exogenous trees only are used for engineering works.

Exogenous trees are further sub divided into:

a)Conifers: These are evergreen trees having pointed,needle-like or scale like leaves. These trees yield soft woods. Examples: deodar,kail,pine,etc

 2)Endogenous  Trees

These trees grow inwards and fibrous mass is seen jn their longitudinal sections. The tkmber from these trees has very limited engineering applications . The examples bamboo,cane,palm etc.
