Are you 100% positive these leaves and acorns came off of the tree in the pic?
That’s red oak acorns and leaves with white oak bark. Never seen it before.

I’m pretty positive. I didn’t see any other leaves and no other oaks close. That’s why I was confused.

White oak tree. Those leaves and acorns came from a scarlet oak (red oak).

red oak, all red oaks are no the same, some types have bark that looks like white oaks, but the leaves and acorns are different than white oaks!!!!!

What about turkey oak????
Posted By: king

Re: Oak identification - 10/13/18 01:17 PM

turkey oaks only grow where there are turkeys, learned this at arburn, in "TREES " 101.

Re: Oak identification - 10/13/18 05:47 PM

I believe a turkey oak has 3 lobes per leaf. Looks similar to a turkey track

Leaves say red but bark says white. I can pick those two types out but all the varieties I can't differentiate. Might be a not so common variety of oak.

I think paintrock has it. Leaves like red, bark like white= pin. Aliot of times folks will call a willow oak a pin oak. The above pics are what a real pin oak looks like.

Theres also a pin oak you see in peoples yards occasionally that has those leaves but slick bark.

When I say close, I mean within a few feet. I picked up the leaves from the base of the tree pictured.

Whoa whoa whoa. Don’t be bringing those accusations up in here!!

FWIW, I looked up into the tree and it looked like those leaves were on the branches. The lowest branch was probably 35ft up, so I could be wrong.

Those pictures do not match up. That’s a case of 1+1 does not equal 2!

Pin oak bark does not look like that. No red oak has flaking gray bark. Pin oak has gray bark, with rigid furroughs in it.

It’s a new species. Fixing to be called the SBS oak after I get my local botanist out here.

You’re absolutely right on the leaves/acorns. That bark is a white oak. Ain’t a red oak anywhere in TN with bark like that.

Re: Oak identification - 10/14/18 04:22 AM

Get out your binoculars and figure out what leaves that tree has. The bark and leaves don't match up.

One of those bastard oaks..........

Re: Oak identification - 10/15/18 01:12 AM


All white oak species have rounded lobes on the leaves. All red oak species have pointed lobes on the leaves.

Bark may differ, but the leaves ( I use binoculars ) will always tell you which ethnicity your oak tree may be.

I've never understood that, Blackjack oak is a red and the leaves sure don't look pointed to me.

I still think the tree/bark shown is a white oak , could possibly be a chinkapin , they are very similar . The leaves look to be scarlet or pin oak.

All red oak species will have bristles on the end of the leaf. Water oak and willow oak are red oaks as well and have rounded lobes. As already stated, the leaves and acorns definitely didn’t come from the tree pictured.
