Best answer:
Answer by Marilyn
No. White oaks and red oaks are in different sections of the genus Quercus.
Hybridization among species of Quercus has been widely documented and even more widely suspected. An astounding number of hybrid combinations have been reported in the literature, and many of these have been given species names, either before or after their hybrid status was known (E. J. Palmer 1948). Hybrids are known to occur in the wild only between members of the same section, and attempts at artificial crosses between species from different sections or subgenera within Quercus have failed with very few exceptions (W. P. Cottam et al. 1982).

Question by Gone Fishing: Which of these three oak trees would you plant?
Sawtooth Oak (Quercus acutissima), Nuttall Oak (Quercus nuttalli), or Northern Red Oak (Quercus Rubra)? I like the red Fall color of the Northern Red Oak, but I do not like surface roots, and I want a tree that is fast growing. I have read that the Sawtooth Oak grows over two feet per year, but it has no red color in the Fall. I have also read that the Nuttall Oak turns red in the Fall and has no surface roots. However, I have read mixed reports about how fast it actually grows.
So which of these three trees would you plant if you wanted fast growth, red Fall color, and no surface roots?
