Quercus suber (Standard) - Cork Oak

Market price from $514.99 to $874.99

Quercus suber (Standard) is a remarkable evergreen tree, best known as the Cork Oak. With its sprawling stature reaching heights of 10 to 20 meters, this unique species introduces a robust dimension to any landscape. The Cork Oak distinguishes itself with its thick, spongy bark—the very substance of commercial cork—giving it a notable rugged charm. As the seasons change, enjoy its enchanting display of deeply lobed, dark green leaves that turn a subtle autumnal yellow, each leaf graced with a silver underside. This resilient species requires full sun exposure and thrives in well-drained, sandy loam soils, but will also readily adapt to less favorable, rocky conditions. Not only is the Cork Oak drought-resistant once established, reflecting its inherent strength, but it also has an unwavering ability to withstand fire, thanks to its corky bark. Another noteworthy attribute is its non-invasive roots, suitable for integrating seamlessly into Xeriscape or Mediterranean gardens without causing disruption. Choose the Cork Oak as a striking addition to your outdoor space, an offering of shade, a signature decorative element, or a unique screen plant. Its practical features and artistic appeal make it an unparalleled option, resonating with both environmental value and visual allure.
