General Literature

Literature listed under the following higher taxa may also be relevant to Quercus petraea x robur = Q. x rosacea (hybrid oak):

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.
