    So what is the name of this tree?
    Location is east Texas.
    I looked up different varieties and closest I could find was Chikapin or however you spell it!!

      show the leaf. That is the best way to identify.

          Well, they’re big trees with the lowest limb way up there!!!
          I think I know where some small trees are so I’ll get a pic of one tomorrow.

            That acorn looks like it is from a nuttal (striped) oak. Most of their acorns, but not all of them, are noticeably striped. The leaves from a chinkapin oak resemble a swamp chestnut oak, which do not match your tree in question.

                It's a big acorn for sure...but I think the cup is too small and smooth to be a burr oak.

                  Need better pics of the leaves. Not a burr oak though. Best I can tell from the pic, some variety of pin. Need better pics.

                    Oak are very prolific at reproducing with any other oak, so there are many hybrid oak trees out there.

                      Download "picture this" app

                      It has been spot on with things I used it for

                      Take picture of bark or leaves and it will tell you what it is

                        Looks like a Nuttall acorn, I hardly ever see them here but I have came across a few of them along creeks in East Texas. The acorn is too big to be a chinquapin.

                          Give that tree some fertilizer and watch it rain acorns

                              Ok, I change my mind. I’m going with Swamp Chestnut oak.
