    Whistler Tree

    September 12, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    This is the largest Quercus Suber L tree in the world AKA Cork Tree. It is over 240 years old and is 16.2 m high. It would take 5 adults linking hands to span the circumference (Glynis tried on her own but could not do it). So why is it known as the Whistler 🌴? I can help there as well, it’s because when the birds land to rest in the tree the sounds they make sound like someone whistling.Read more
