Quercus × crenata is a tree in the family Fagaceae. It is treated as a hybrid between the European trees Turkey oak ( Quercus cerris) and cork oak ( Quercus suber) [2] but may also represent a distinct species. [3] In the past, it has often been called Quercus × hispanica, a name that properly refers to presumed hybrids between Portuguese oak (Quercus faginea) and Quercus suber. [4]
Hybridisation occurs naturally in southwestern Europe where both parent species occur. [5] The Lucombe oak cultivar (Q. × crenata 'Lucombeana') is frequently found in British collections. To be a true Lucombe oak, cultivars must be clones of the original hybrid arising in William Lucombe's Exeter nursery. [6] "Lucombeana' has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. [7]
A number of named cultivars are grown in gardens, parks, arboreta and botanical gardens.
