NAME THAT TREE! January Edition!

[johnnylabguy]

Ok, I was granted permission from a local farmer to cut down this very large oak tree(easily over 3 ft at dbh) from the middle of an open field. Perfect! Except what I thought was a white oak from the road has leaves like those in the pics. The bark at the base and trunk is very deeply grooved and wide. I wish I had the right USB cable to transfer the pics of the whole tree from my phone!:censored:

Sooo, Name That Tree! Winner gets the convertible AND the model standing beside it!

Looks like what I've always called Burr Oak.

Might not be the actual or official name but it burns mighty good!

Swamp White Oak.Bur,or Burr Oak has much deeper lobes.

I'll be danged! I've never even heard of chestnut oak! The leaves look alot like the ones in this link:

Although the ones I have aren't as long(maybe just immature examples).

Its definately NOT A PIN OAK!

Our Chestnut Oaks have a very similar leaf but they are big. Your second pic is the one that made me think of "Rock" Oak. The first pic is definitely too small.

Even Chestnut Oak saplings have big leaves.

 

[johnnylabguy]

The leaves aren't really "lobed" like an English Oak leaf, though. Thats why the tree has me stumped. I thought all oak leaves had more pronounced lobes than this one. It may not be a chestnut oak, but thats the closest I've seen so far...

 

[dustytools]

It is a White Oak, which one im not sure but definitley a type of white. Pin Oak is a type of Red.

 

[ropensaddle]

Chestnut and Chinquapin oak are close but they seem pointed more than
your leaf!
