The hybrid between our two native oaks is very variable and very common. Back-crossing produces intermediates in all the characters which separate the parent species.
Clues to hybridity:
1. combination of characters eg stalked acorns and stellate leaf hairs |
2. some leaves with base asymmetric, with a small auricle on one side but not on the other |
3. greater than usual variation in shape of leaf base so that some have cuneate bases and some are weakly auricled. |
4. broad leaves with rounded lobes. These forms can be quite striking and rather attractive. |
