Chairin'em for the sound
I know I'm a tree idiot, and here's another opportunity for me to prove it. I was deciding whether to remove a large sucker from a good sized water oak. Looking closely at the leaves on the sucker
And I'm thinking, "is this thing I've been calling a water oak actually a red oak"
Looked closely at some leaves in the canopy and they look like this
So I'm like "no it's a water oak like I thought."
Now I know that a water oak is in the red oak family, but is it typical to have such different looking leaves in the same tree? I have a lot of pin oaks, and they have very homogenous leaves, as do the live oaks.
