Photo of Quercus suber (Cork Oak)
Quercus suber - Commonly called cork oak, is a medium sized evergreen oak. Trees typically mature to 40-70’ tall. Leathery, wavy-toothed, ovate, shiny dark green leaves (to 2-4” long) are gray-tomentose below. Thick, rough, deeply fissured, corky bark with reddish-brown furrows has a unique beauty, particularly on older trees. Over time, bark will grow to as much as 12” thick. Insignificant monoecious flowers appear in spring in male catkins (2-3” long) and in short-stalked female clusters. Fruits are narrow oval-oblong acorns (to 1.25” long). Family: Fagaceae
