Cork trees, which are a genus of the oak tree and are really fascinating.
Most trees die if you take the bark off - but the cork oak keeps regenerating.
Nowadays they usually take the bark off in sheets, but years ago they used to take out the real 'wine bottle' cork with a special gadget.
Why did your question come up under 'Reptiles?' Or do they use cork bark for reptile bedding?

From Cork Oaks.
It's really interesting, they're a type of tree native to southwest Europe and northwest Africa. They produce the thick bark that we see in petstore and such which is harvested ever 10+ years or so. The tree isn't hurt by this, but takes a while to grow back the cork. Renewable resourse, though the trees aren't as numerous as they used to be.
