Is cork the bark of a cork oak?

In: Trees and Shrubs [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, the tree forms a thick, rugged and corky bark. Over time this bark can develop considerable thickness and this can be harvested every 10-12 years as cork. The harvesting of cork does not harm the tree and a new layer of cork regrows, making it a renewable resource.
