  Cork of Andalucía, Southern Spain.
The cork oak, quercus suber - quercus the Latin for oak, suber the Latin for cork - is a native of both northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean.
Its age is unknown, but the quercus suber or its ancestors have been around for at least 147 million years, when an evolutionary Selection Event - probably a drastic change in climate - caused the decline of single-seed gymnosperm trees and the appearance of angiosperm - multi-seeded - plants and trees.
Early man would have used quercus suber, among others of the quercus family (and there are dozens of varieties) for fire wood, implements, weapons and, when the hunter-gatherers began to settle in or around the thirteen century BCE, for building.

The long dry period together with the cork harvesting are causing a slow regression of Quercus suber forest in the Ben Slimane province.
In this spot the density of Quercus suber is around 55%, representing one of the most closed area of all the forest.
