Cork Bark Oak Bonsai | Quercus suber
Introducing tour Cork Bark Oak Bonsai tree, elegantly nestled in a pretty mid blue ceramic pot, radiating elegant charm and sophistication. Known as Quercus suber variety, this bonsai hails from the Mediterranean region, and is perfectly suited for bonsai cultivation. At a sprightly 9 years old, it boasts a mesmerising S-shaped trunk, gracefully twisting and turning, capturing the essence of nature’s artistry.
Adorning this bonsai are small, evergreen crinkly leaves, lending a touch of whimsy to its appearance. However, it’s the stunning cork bark, characteristic of the Quercus suber, that truly steals the show as it ages, showcasing the tree’s remarkable journey through time. This unique bark, known for its versatility and softness, has been utilised since ancient times in various crafts, including as bottle corks and picture frames.
In the summer months, the Cork Bark Oak Bonsai responds well to wiring, allowing for meticulous shaping and styling. During autumn, you will find acorns growing! However, come winter, it’s essential to protect it from freezing temperatures, whether in a conservatory, cold greenhouse, or a cool room indoors.
With its dark glossy green leaves above and a pale, felty underside, reminiscent of holly leaves, this bonsai exudes a unique allure. The slender acorns, held in a shaggy cup, further accentuate its natural charm. Overall, the Cork Bark Oak Bonsai stands as a testament to the beauty of nature and the art of bonsai cultivation, offering a glimpse into the rich history and versatility of the Quercus suber species.
In ancient Greece, these trees were seen as symbols of liberty and honour. Only priests were allowed to cut them down!
