Abstract
The registrars of the International Oak Society are responsible for registering, updating and locating new selections of oaks throughout the world. The majority of these come from North America and Europe. New cultivars are selected for a variety of reasons, including fall color, unique foliage, habit, form, or fruiting characteristics. Although some are sent to us by their originators, most must be tracked down individually via the Internet, nursery catalogs, various publications, and data from collections. In many cases, this work requires traveling to gather information and to collect the Standard Specimens. The registrars welcome information about new cultivars or older cultivars that have not been registered yet. Please send information either to Eike Jablonski (Eurasia, Oceania, and Africa) or Ryan Russell (the Americas) or visit https://www.internationaloaksociety.org/content/cultivar-registration.
