Product Description
Cork oak is an evergreen tree with low, twisted branches and downy twigs. It is a medium-sized slow-growing oak, and can grow up to 20 m high. It has very thick and deeply ridged bark, which is harvested as cork. The green leaves are 4-7 cm long, with spiny-ended lobes and their margins are often curved downwards. The leaves fall during the second year of growth. Once a year, the tree produces fruits, known as acorns. The acorns are 2-3 cm long, and sit in a deep cup fringed with elongated scales. Cork oak is wind pollinated and monoecious (having separate male and female flowers on the same plant). This is wonderful tree, it is rarely seen in Britain which is odd because it’s beautiful, and easy to grow.
