About
About this tree

There is precious little Hispanic about Quercus ×hispanica. Its parents are Q. suber (cork oak), whose range stretches from the Western to Central Mediterranean, and Q. cerris (Turkey oak), which is found in South Central Europe and Turkey. The intersection of these ranges is southeastern France and Italy. The only naturally occurring specimens in Spain would date from after the introduction of Q. cerris to Spain, which happened around 1780.
