Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Quercus hispanica Family: Fagaceae Author: Lam. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 20 Mature Width: 13 Habitat: Not known in the wild.
Cultivation Notes: Prefers a good deep fertile loam which can be on the stiff side[1, 11]. Young plants tolerate reasonable levels of side shade[200]. Tolerates moderate exposure, surviving well but being somewhat stunted[200].
Intolerant of root disturbance, trees should be planted in their permanent positions whilst young[11].
Grows fairly well in Britain, because of its hybrid parentage between the cork oak and the Turkey oak this tree is potentially a good source of cork for Britain.
There are a number of named forms. 'Diversifolia' has a bark that is more corky than the type[11].
Hybridizes freely with other members of the genus[200].
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
