Is this a red oak leaf?

[motolife313]

Got some super solid oak and not totally sure it’s pin or red. Thank you very much!

Might be Pin Oak.

Looks like Pin Oak, which is a type of red oak.

I think our red oak over here is little different then in the pic. I’ll get a pic of the leaf. It’s in between the pin oak leaf and the white oak leaf to me. I could be mistaking tho and it could be pin but the leafs are rounded like a white oak and a lot bigger. There’s a big piece I wanna mill. I do like the looks of the pin oak grain.
The white oak leaf is off looking also to me.
The ones around here don’t really look like that.
Our white oak looks more like this. Not skinny and weak looking like in the pic

This looks like an Oregon White Oak, Quercus garryana. The earlier pics could also be Northern Pin Oak/Black Oak, Quercus ellipsoidalis.

That sure looks like our Red Oak here in KY. The pin oak is almost identical but the leaves are about half the size of Red oak.

The red oak leaf in this pic looks nothing like any red oak I have ever seen. I think whoever made this chart had a bit too much to drink before they got done and just gave up at the end!

Ya no kidding. Shouldn’t be on the net let alone a arborist site lol.

Here is our red oak and white oak leaves, red have points, white are round. Think it's pin oak, leaves look like red, but cut in deeper to stem. Pin oak acorns are slender compared to reds fat round acorns.

Find a few acorns and post pics, that's the best way to tell them apart. Red oak will be pretty big, with a shallow cap. Leaves vary a lot.

Sure looks like Pin Oak.

I don’t get pin oak much. The last one I got had some much smaller leafs then these ones. At least I thought

 

[motolife313]

Is the red a big difference inside if your comparing 2 split rounds?

sorry for trying to help

 

[motolife313]

I do appreciate it, ive seen that chart before and figured it must of been for a different region in the USA . I’ve heard there are around 9000 spices of oak so definitely still could be right as far as the graph goes. I do apologize

It is Pin oak, I don't care what others to say.

 

[motolife313]

Lol. Thank you. I’m going to get some acorns still and post them up still. I’d like to see some red oak acorns compared to them

Leaves won' be exactly the same all over the continent as the stock photos.
I have variations in my Red Oaks and in my White Oaks as well.
But the characteristics of each leaf is the same.
Pin Oak is a Red Oak species. They are the same.
Bark and grain can vary as well. Even in two same species trees growing side by side.
That one you showed us is a Red Oak of some kind.
