That would be my guess. Red oak is longer leaf. Scarlet oak is more indented. Big leaf but hotter climate, so palustris would be my guess and they're not making acorns this year locally so that fits.

Did think about 'Pin Oak' (Q. palustris), HONEST :biggrin:, but thought the leaf was too broad, partic the one in the office.

 

Still, as the saying goes, "use it, or lose it", n I get increasingly less chance to use it these days...my tree ID skills that is! :lol:

 

Sorry, Friday 'frivolity' as I'm still stuck in the office and a 3 hour drive home awaits...oh joy!

 

Have a good weekend all..!

I agree that it is a species of Red Oak (Rugosa).

 

 

Two (red) sub species it may be are:

 

Quercus Shumardi (Shumard Oak).

Quercus Texana (Nutall Oak, Texan Red Oak).

 

Im no expert, so please excuse me if you feel my judgement is impaired.
