Please note!

The cork oak is winter hardy and evergreen, with the tree being able to withstand temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius. In mild winters the leaves retain their beautiful dark grey-green colour, but in severe winters the leaves can turn brown and fall off, only to sprout again in the spring. The cork oak thrives best in a sheltered spot with well-drained soil, with few demands on the soil. It is a slow grower, both in pots and in the open ground, and can grow up to approx.

Pruning

Pruning the cork oak is necessary to keep the tree in shape and to control its size. Do this in March-April if necessary. Cut away dead, diseased or damaged branches with sharp pruning shears. Make a clean cut to keep the tree healthy.

Water requirement

The cork oak has few demands on the soil, but it is important that it drains well. Keep the soil somewhat dry and calcareous, but make sure that the cork oak gets enough moisture, especially during dry periods. Protect the tree from cold winds and draughts for optimal growth and healthy leaves.

Power supply

The cork oak has few demands on the soil, but requires well-drained soil that is slightly dry and calcareous. For optimal growth and preservation of its beautiful dark grey-green leaves, it is important to provide sufficient water and nutrition, especially when the plant is in a pot. Nutrition should not be given during periods of frost. Prune if necessary during March-April to keep the plant in shape.

Location

Place the hardy and evergreen cork oak in a sunny to semi-shaded location. Make sure the soil is well-drained and slightly dry and chalky. Protect the tree from cold winds and draughts for optimal growth. In a pot, provide sufficient water and nutrition, with drainage holes at the bottom. Prune between March and April if necessary.
