Scrub × Valley Oak (Quercus berberidifolia × lobata)Observer
joedecruyenaereDescription
My first thought was Q. kelloggii, which I was pretty excited about since it's never been reported from this range, but characters of the leaves and bark don’t quite match up. Leaves generally lack bristles at the lobe tips (though they may be acute), and the bark appears to peel off in plates or sheets (similar to Q. berberidifolia).
Instead, I think this is a hybrid of Q. lobata and Q. berberidifolia, both of which are common nearby. Unfortunately, no acorns were available for inspection.
