CORK GROWS ON TREES

CORK GROWS ON TREES
Cork trees grow all over the place . There were so many that there were lots growing that not one person could count how many trees there were. The next day a girl name Silvia a new path in one of the gardens . Suddenly ,she saw herself  standing a weird looking tree. When she touch this thick bark it felt like popcorn. It reminded her of something else? Then she nearly forgot  it was soft as well just the cork handle on her fishing rod at home It was the same colour as the cork notice on the board of her bedroom wall The tree wa cork oak. Cork oaks are very special trees because they grow 2 very different kinds of bark . the inside bark holds the trees sap up and down the trunk. The outside which is called the cork ,is like ice-cream and is spongy. Cork goes best in hot places like  south of France and hawahii. their thick ,cork bark keeps them from drying  out in hot weather. Cork dose’nt burn really easilly.
