History

This tree is thought to have been planted by the Forest Dept when
Quinninup was established. The cork oak (Quercus suber) is mainly
grown in Algeria, Spain, Portugal and other Mediterranean areas. That is
why it can be successfully grown in the southern part of Western
Australia. The cork tree can live for up to 150 years even if periodically
harvested.
