I have been informed at tonights Cornwall bonsai meeting that its a cornish oak. Quite rare by all accounts. So I'm even more happy I have it. I will post a better picture soon now it's naked.

i think maybe a hybrid as imho the leaves are not right for a sessile oak. it can be very hard to identify oaks precisely because of hybridization and local variation. every acorn is slightly different. |

There were very few left as I expect the wildlife had got there first but of the four I did find the largest has shown the first signs of germination. I am confident it is a q Hispanica as the one that is germinating was still in its very distinctive cup. Interested to see how this one fares and what it looks like. I gather as a cross the leaves may not be like the tree it came from.  Untitled by Sputnik184, on Flickr

You just reminded me I need to get to Bedgebury Arboretum where I am hoping (please please please) to find acorns from a q.microphylla. It's a naturally small leaved oak native to Mexico's highlands - and they happen to have one in Kent. |
