Cork oak is a slow-growing Mediterranean tree that requires well-draining soil and minimal water once established. Plant in full sun to partial shade and avoid overwatering, as it's adapted to dry summers. This unique tree produces the cork used for wine bottles and requires patience but minimal maintenance.
