Direct answer
Where do you get Hardwood in Palworld 1.0?
Cut the twisted, spiky-leaved trees in Twilight Dunes or the red-and-white-trunk Sakura trees at Dancing Sakura Shrine. Current data also lists Wumpo Botan, Mossanda, Mossanda Lux, Palumba; four merchant inventories; and the Ancient Material Synthesizer. The local atlas has no Hardwood tree layer, so the nearby landmarks below are navigation aids rather than exact resource pins.
Visual identification
Recognize the tree before you swing
Hardwood is tied to distinctive biome trees. Ordinary trees in the same wider region should not be treated as guaranteed Hardwood sources.
Dancing Sakura Shrine
Look for: Sakura trees with distinctive red-and-white trunks.
Use the Moonflower Tower Entrance landmark as a navigation anchor, then inspect the shrine trees rather than treating the landmark itself as a resource node.
Map boundary: The local atlas snapshot does not contain a Hardwood tree layer. Region landmarks are navigation aids, not exact harvest markers, so this page does not add fabricated pins.
Alternate acquisition
Four ways to stock Hardwood
Tree harvesting is the direct field method. Pal drops, merchant stock, and base synthesis can fill different progression gaps, but none is labeled a verified fastest farm.
Biome trees
Use the two visual profiles above to distinguish Hardwood-bearing tree types.
Pal drops
Wumpo Botan, Mossanda, Mossanda Lux, Palumba.
Merchant stock

Ancient Material Synthesizer
Current data lists Lumbering Lv. 6. Current data lists the facility as a Hardwood source, but assignment behavior and practical throughput can vary by patch and base layout.
