PLANT PROFILE

Quercus suber (Cork Oak) looks excellent as a broad, rounded evergreen tree with year-round grey-green lobed foliage and distinctive corky bark that adds strong textural interest. Its thick, deeply fissured bark not only provides unique visual appeal but also delivers resilience in low-rainfall, poor soil conditions, making it a low-maintenance choice for dryland gardens and Mediterranean-style landscapes.

Reaching 10–15 metres in height with an 8–12 metre spread, Cork Oak offers consistent shade coverage without the seasonal leaf drop typical of deciduous oaks. This makes it well suited for rural properties, estate boundaries, parks, and large garden settings where reliable shade and structure are desired. It also supports local ecology with small catkin flowers and acorn clusters.

For enhanced impact, it looks excellent when underplanted with drought-tolerant groundcovers or native shrubs that complement its Mediterranean character. Its slow growth and sturdy form deliver lasting presence and understated elegance in expansive landscapes.

How to Plant Quercus suber (Cork Oak):

  1. Select an Ideal Location: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
  2. Planting Depth: When planting, ensure the top of the root ball is flush with the ground, not deeper.
  3. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and during the initial establishment phase.
  4. Mulch: Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
