Hi Tahir,
Cork Oaks grow really well down here in Hampshire and don't seem to have been
significantly affected by the softy cold winters we've had recently. I'm not
particularly familiar with your neck of the woods, so I'd advise asking
locally and at least avoid any known frost pockets.
You might want to consider one of the hybrid Oaks. I remember some lovely
Quercus x hispanica, a hybrid between Cork Oak and Holm Oak, from my time at
the parks department in Nottingham.
Best regards,
Bill

I don't think so, not till we've got a proper sheltered garden, we're still
losing all sorts of trees with the winters we're having, this winter's
losses:
several figs
persimmons (kaki and virginiana)
pawpaw (asimina triloba)
a couple of mulberries
Having said that I have no idea how hardy the cork oak is...
