Oak ident

Do I see some hair-like structures lurking by the terminal buds? Then it's aTurkey Oak.

 

Reminds me of doing some volunteer work for the Avon Wildlife Trust and we were admiring this huge oak at the end of a day's work. Bit dismayed when we realised what sort of oak it was. It's very invasive of grassland and the AWT often has to arrange scrub clearance parties to deal with it.

Might be a hybrid of some sort. Though my initial thought was potentially some sort of American oak but as there are over 500 species of oak. I would say ask the International Oak Society or someone really good with oaks. 

 

I've been looking for a good ident book on oaks for ages. Alas, nothing has appeared so far.
