| for the most part, the higher the density of wood means the better it absorbs and retains water. high density trees are found in very wet climates such as the rainforest. dryer, less dense trees are typically found in colder, dryer climates. I think the main thing that you need to know is that the more dense the wood is, the more water it has inside of it. So the types of wood that are very dense are much better at absorbing water. |
