Physical Description

Three mature Cork trees

History

Cork Oak trees (Quercus suber), are grown mainly in Algeria, Spain,
Portugal and other parts of the Mediterranean which is why they transfer
to the South West of Western Australia so well. Cork trees can live about
150 years even if periodically harvested.
These three cork trees were part of the Glenoran forestry settlement and
were probably planted in the 1950s. They are exceptional examples of
cork trees and according to DEC officer Ian Wilson are in better
condition than the cork tree in Rea Park.

Condition
