Cork oak - Quercus suber
The bark of the cork oak, Quercus suber, is the primary source of cork for wine bottle stoppers and cork flooring. These trees are very drought tolerant, which makes them desirable for warm climates such as Santa Clara County. They are native to the Mediterranean region and can easily grow to 100 or 200 years old.
