Cultivar Checklist for English Oak (Quercus Robur)

Abstract

Cultivars of the English oak (Quercus robur) are described and discussed. Most English oak cultivars currently available in the nursery trade are propagated by seed and, although selected to a standard as seedlings in the nursery, they still possess considerable genetic diversity in many characteristics. Such cultivars are not "clones", and the potential variation in non-morphological traits must be appreciated when selecting cultivars for planting or assessing their performance.
