El Grueso Oak
The cork oak (Quercus Suber) “Grueso” was included in the list of uniquely important trees of Extremadura on the 15th March, 2016. Standing at the beginning of a small rise along with other large cork oaks, its spectacular dimensions led to its inclusion on the list of protected trees.
Although this tree’s statistics are impressive, it still surprises us with its magnitude when we come face to face with it. It is 16.5m high and has a spread of 22.5m in diameter. With an estimated age of 350 years its trunk bears the marks of the centuries and various suckers disrupt the harmony of its crown.
