Tony,
Alternatively it may be a native oak growing on a buried cow - lots of
nitrogen. That was one of the potential reasons my Prof used to cite for fast
growing trees - as well as others. He did his PhD on mineral nutrition of
trees.

Dear All,
Some of you may find this account of Quercus cerris interesting. I don't
know enough about its ability to hybridise with Q. robur to have an opinion.
Part of the reason for hunting out information on Q. robur x Q. cerris
hybrids, in addition to Tony's posts, is that I'm currently burning oak logs
with annual rings that are over 10mm wide and very white wood, no heartwood.
I was curious about whether it may have been a tree with hybrid vigour.
