Quercus suber – The Cork Oak - is best known for its bark that is used to produce cork. This is a slow-growing evergreen oak that is used widely as landscaping trees across Europe as well as in Australia. This large evergreen tree is broad and rounded, with a dense spreading habit. The deep fissured bark is an added attraction, while the leaves have a distinctive ‘Holly shape’ and a mature specimen with its twisted branches is quite elegant. Native to the Mediterranean basin, this is one of the few evergreen Oak trees cultivated in Australia. Soil: Well-drained soil. Conditions: Full sun to a little shade. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant. Size: Height 12-20m x width 15m Show more
