It takes 9 to 12 years for the bark to regrow. A tree takes 25 years before it is mature enough to harvest and a tree can be harvested for about 200 years.
Its pretty amazing to think that one tree can provide 2 to 3 generations of harvesters a living.
I will post something tomorrow for...
Here are some photos of cork bark on trucks and out to dry. I have some photos of the manufacturing process I can post tomorrow if you would like to see them.
