Quercus × hispanica, commonly known as Spanish oak, is tree in the family Fagaceae. It is a hybrid between the European trees Turkey oak ( Quercus cerris) and cork oak ( Quercus suber).
Hybridisation occurs naturally in southwestern Europe where both parent species occur. [2] The Lucombe oak cultivar 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. [3]
A number of named cultivars are grown in gardens, parks, arboreta and botanical gardens.
