Answer to Trivia Question: When a typical cork tree is harvested it will yield around 100 pounds of bark, enough corks for about 4,000 bottles. This number can vary quite a bit over a tree’s long life. The Whistler Tree in Portugal produced the largest harvest on record. It yielded enough bark at one time to make over 100,000 corks. Portugal is the leading producer of corks with almost 50% of the worlds production. The average cork tree lives to be 200 years old and the cork can be harvested every 9 years, starting at about the age of 25. The bark is stripped from the outside but the tree continues to live and grow making it sustainable.
