I watched the programme on BBC 2 which showed the cork oaks after harvet. How come they
don't die after the bark has been stripped off? If I took the bark off a normal tree all
the way round, it would die.

That's a point the programme made; it is the only tree which can
survive this treatment.
Wasn't Monty Don a good choice of narrator. I loved the programme.
