Does the wood from different trees burn at different temperatures when made into charcoal?

Specifically I was wondering about a particular tree, Osage Orange, that has an extremely high burning temperature. If charcoal was made from its wood would it burn hotter than charcoal from another tree thats wood doesn't burn as hot? Sorry if I got the tag wrong, i wasn't sure whether to use chemistry or biology.

Softwoods have more air pockets so will burn hotter and faster, hardwoods have fewer air pockets, so will burn for longer but at lower temps.

Osage Orange likely has a high amount of resin - diesel veins running through it's trunk - which would cause it to burn hotter if used as firewood, but it wouldn't make a difference once you turn it into charcoal.

Charcoal is made by burning wood without oxygen. During that process, any resin in the tree would no longer be there, it would drip out through the grains of the wood, no longer being present.
