Come on Luke you know it takes more than minerals to grow, and that robur
would be on steroids to do 10mm annualy year on year, what about the drought
years we had? do you have rings on those logs from that period?
I do like playing betting games on certain ecological aspects, and this ones
going to be like a bad penny!

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.
