    Oak id

    I've been in this house for 10 years this month. Always known this was an oak, just wasn't sure of what kind, and it's never made an acorn. Mowing my grass this morning I saw an acorn, after looking harder, it's got quite a few. Not really loaded, but plenty. HUGE tree. What is it?

    Water oak. My mom had a couple in her yard that were huge. One fell over during a storm and hit the house then flattened her year old Dodge durango.

              I grew up calling them water oaks. An ol timer set me straight. He called them pin oaks too. Must be an eastern Oklahoma/Texas thing.

                I have several of these, and they always produce a lot of acorns. Animals don't seem to like mine very much. I think there's still a bunch on the ground from last year.

                  Interesting, I wonder what I've been calling a water oak.

                      Water oak. Typically large volume producers. But high tannin(sp?)…. So bitter and not high on the preference list….BUT very water tolerant. So in a cold wet year late season when all the white varieties are gone or rotten they can be a good food source

                        Water Oak, not a Pin Oak

                          Although they are sometimes called a “pin oak” (even my dad calls them that). They are indeed different trees and this is not a pin oak

                              Truth is, most dont know what a Pin Oak is. My grandfathers called a Willow Oak a Pin Oak. A Pin Oak is very similar to a lot of other Red Oak types.
