View prices and availability
'Lucombeana' is a large, semi-evergreen tree with a broad oval to round crown that reaches a height of 25-30 m. The dark grey bark is finely grooved and resembles the bark of Q. cerris more than Q. suber. The oval to oblong leaves have 6-9 triangular teeth on both edges. The upper surface of the leaves is glossy dark green, while the underside is grey-green hairy. The inconspicuous flowering is followed by about 2.5 cm long, egg-shaped acorns. These are slightly more than half enclosed by the cupule, which is set with recurved prong-shaped scales. Q. ×hispanica is a natural species hybrid between Q. cerris and Q. suber from southern Europe. 'Lucombeana' was found by William Lucombe at St Thomas, Exeter, England, circa 1763. Naturally, Q ×hispanica grows on fairly dry, calcareous soil. So a well-drained calcareous soil is also recommended for 'Lucombeana'. The tree is resistant to road salt and air pollution.
