QUERCUS SUBER

(CORK OAK) This is THE source of those real corks that we pop out of wine bottles! Beautiful round headed trees, usually 40’ in a landscape with dramatic fissured thick corky bark. Elegant evergreen specimen tree with nice semi open branching habit as it matures; prefers a Mediterranean site, sunny and dry. Not a good turf tree, but takes most soils that aren’t mushy in the summer. Really gorgeous and relatively easy to grow…fairly fast too. Z8 (7?) 4 ½ “ pot
