Not all trees have heartwood. Heartwood is the dense inner part of a tree trunk, formed as the tree matures and the inner wood cells die, providing structural support. Some species, particularly certain softwoods like pines, may not develop significant heartwood, while hardwoods typically do. Additionally, the presence and amount of heartwood can vary greatly among different species and individual trees.
