Geocache Description:

~~The third in a series~~ on useful non-indigenous trees that had been introduced to the country, this 125ml cache is located at a road-side specimen of the Cork tree.

Across and above the road you will see a long stand of Corks bordering the mountainside plantation.

Quercus suber (Cork oak) is a long-lived perennial deciduous tree found in Mediterranean countries, where it flourishes in commercial cultivation for it's bark, which naturally splits every 9-15 years and can be harvested without harm.

Corks were introduced here for this commerce, but failed to prosper locally, due to drought-vulnerabillity, according to a colonial report.
