Red oak ??

^Good call, Quercus rubra Fact Sheet

Probably red oak but there are dozens of different species in the red oak family. A picture of the tree would help.

Thanks, just looked a little different and fancied finding out what it was.

That sounds like the Scarlet Oak ("deep red") Q. coccinea, Red Oak Q. rubra just tends to go red/brown...in my experience.

 

Reckon the leaf could be either.

 

Cheers..

Coccinea is generally a much more angular serration and smaller leaf.

Problem with a single leaf is that vigorous growth can produce massive leaves even in sessile oak, but my money's on Rubra.

possible its white yank oak.......not sure tho the leaf looks a bit spazzz
