Quercus x bebbiana Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a good deep fertile loam which can be on the stiff side[11]. Lime tolerant[188]. Succeeds in a hot dry position. Young plants tolerate reasonable levels of side shade[200]. Tolerates moderate exposure, surviving well but being somewhat stunted[200]. A vigorous, fast-growing hybrid species, some forms are capable of reaching 1.5 metres tall in 2 years[183].]. Established plants are drought resistant[229] and tolerant of atmospheric pollution[226]. This species is occasionally cultivated for its edible seed, there are some named varieties[183]. It is a hybrid of garden origin, Q. alba x Q. macrocarpa[183]. Both of its parents prefer warmer summers than are usually experienced in Britain, often growing poorly in this country and failing to properly ripen their wood, resulting in frost damage overwinter[11, 200]. The tree flowers on new growth produced in spring, the seed ripening in its first year[200, 229]. Hybridizes freely with other members of the genus[200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. For further Quercus x bebbiana gardening information |
