Tree Description:
95-04 – Quercus xbebbiana (Bebb’s Hybrid Oak) is a cross of Bur Oak (Q. macrocarpa) with White Oak (Q. alba) and is one of the more common oak hybrids seen where both parent species are growing together. A relative of this seedling-propagated tree was grown from a graft of an ortet (original F1), selected and internationally registered as the Taco Oak, now famous worldwide for its vigor and durability under adverse growing conditions. The original Taco Oak can be seen here in Springfield on the top of a steep retaining wall at the former site of a Mexican restaurant on Monroe Street.
