Plant Description

Quercus suber, commonly known as the cork oak, is a medium-sized evergreen tree that typically reaches heights of 10-20 meters. This tree is renowned for its thick, corky bark, which is harvested periodically for cork production. The leaves are dark green, leathery, and slightly serrated, with a grayish underside. Quercus suber produces small, inconspicuous flowers in the spring, followed by acorns that mature in the autumn. The cork oak is native to the western Mediterranean region and is valued not only for its cork but also for its attractive, gnarled appearance and ability to thrive in poor soil conditions.
