Does it exists? Is there a hybrid somewhere that would combine Quercus alba or Quercus macrocarpa hardiness with Quercus michauxii giant acorns?

I think there is a hybrid between Q. alba and Q. michauxii, called beadles oak. I don't think the acorns are unusually large, but the tree is supposed to be very fast growing and gets rather large.

Quercus Macrocarpa is known to have big acorns. Look on Oikos tree crops web site, it may help you or not, but worth a gander.
