Compton Oak
Compton Oak (Quercus x comptoniae) is a natural hybrid between Overcup Oak and Live Oak, both noted to be among the toughest trees for urban environments. A handsome tree with good-looking foliage, Compton Oak exhibits traits of both its parents with adaptability to many soil types and, once established, impressive drought-tolerance.
