Two Oaks Identified

February 5, 2025

A pale hand holds an oak leaf with three rounded lobes and shallow sinuses.

Fairly sure the above is water oak.

Branch that still has brown oak leaves attached, which are oblong but with a distinct point on the end, and bristle tips on the saw toothed edges.

These above that I saw near the pond, I'm sad to say, appear to be sawtooth oak, which are not native.

Against a backdrop of stained khaki pants, a pale hand holds an oak leaf with seven lobes and very deep sinuses.

Against a backdrop of a white net basket full of milk jugs, a pale hand holds an asymmetric oak leaf with 10 pointy lobes and very deep sinuses.

A pale hand holds five acorns about 1 in long each, capless and light brown but blotchy with simple small tips on the ends.

Still no firm identification on these leaves or these acorns yet, but the field is narrowing down.
