Thanks Mark. Yeah, I missed that. I would like any sample of blackjack oak.

Ive learned not to argue..but is there multiple species of blackjack oak? Those leaves are different from our Florida BJ oaks. (Pointed lobes where these are rounded for 1)

The Florida swing of the species can have little whiskers.

Does that look like the tree you had in mind? The other issue is hybridizing. You have any 'Turkey oak' in the area? A lot of folks get 'Water oak' confused with "Black-jack'. Here is water oak, Quercus nigra.

'Post oak', 'Sand post oak' and 'Southern red' can have similar leaves too. Check this out. Might help.

Mark,
Might I suggest post oak Q stellata. I thought I remembered that white oaks have no points at the tips of the leaves and red oak families do. -?- Jim

You sure can....was it in reference to post #9? Post oak is supposed to have a "t" shape. Wiki image below.

Post hybridizes too, too much for me to know the many forms. So the fuzzy under side does match one of the many items. It does grow all over much of OK. However, Blackjack has nearly the same footprint for natural range, and also has pubescent undersides to the leaf. @Bigdrowdy1 by chance you have acorns (with caps) to go with that tree?

@Mr. Peet I will see tomorrow Between the deer and squirrels I don’t expect to find many if any acorns.
We have post oak trees and blackjacks as well.

@Tony

ps it’s snowing here today don’t expect it to last through tomorrow. It’s just a dusting but Tony could make him a tiny snowman.

Hey, I'm looking for Post oak too....hoping to eventually get a flatsawn sample and a 1/4 sawn sample. Cream would be having sapwood and heartwood in one of them. Just saying.....

Yep, turkey oak is what I referred to as black jack. A misnomer I assume, but many of the old timer sandhill boys refer to turkey oaks as blackjack.
