Quercus robur x alba ‘Tabor’
The ‘Tabor’ Oak is a cultivar of a hybrid oak (English x White oak) patented by Earl Cully. It was selected from acorns collected at Carle Park in Urbana, Illinois in 1975. It has a strong branching structure, making it resistant to ice and wind storm damage, and presents very glossy, green leaves. The unusual orange-red fall foliage sets the ‘Tabor’ cultivar apart from other native oak species in the eastern US.
