Quercus suber (species) (Quercus (genus), Fagaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Species of medium sized evergreen oak native to southwest Europe and northwest Africa, cultivated in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria. The tree has a thick, insulating bark that helps it to recover quickly after forest fire; branches, having been protected from the fire by cork, quickly resprout and recompose the tree canopy, while other trees regrow from shoots or seeds. The lightweight, buoyant outer bark of the cork oak is used for stopping bottles, flooring, and many other purposes commercially. No trees are cut down during the harvesting process: the outer bark is stripped about every 10 years, and a new layer of cork grows.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Middelgrote groenblijvende eik die inheems is in het zuidwesten van Europa en het noordwesten van Afrika. Men kweekt de bomen in Spanje, Portugal, Frankrijk, Italië, Marokko, Tunesië en Algerije. Ze hebben een dikke isolerende schors, die ervoor zorgt dat ze zich na een bosbrand snel kunnen herstellen. De kurk beschermt de takken tegen het vuur en al snel ontspruiten er nieuwe twijgen en bladeren die een nieuwe kroon vormen. Andere bomen moeten weer helemaal opnieuw uit loten of zaden groeien. De buitenste schors van de kurkeik is licht en blijft drijven op water. Men gebruikt kurk om flessen af te sluiten, als vloermateriaal en voor andere commerciële doeleinden. Tijdens het oogsten hakt men de bomen niet om. In plaats daarvan pelt men ongeveer elke tien jaar de buitenste schors van de stam af, waarna de boom een nieuwe laag kurk vormt.
