Dwarf Chinkapin oak?

Found this tree west of little rock today. It's about 12' tall and had a lot of acorns under it.

columnar english oak of some form?

Really not sure. I guess it's something they planted as there were several of them. Whatever they are I've got acorns soaking in water from them.

Not sure either but the leaves are pretty. I love watching the woods change colors. Trees are starting to get bare as I look through the woods behind my house when I am home and their is day light.

Looks like a Regal Prince; a cross between a columnar english oak and a swamp white oak. Man in Jacksonville IL was responsible for it's development. Has pretty (swamp white oak like ) leaves, dense branching structure and is resistant to powdery mildew. Crimson Spire - while lacking - or at least lesser - in the previously mentioned characteristics - probably fruits better (more and bigger acorns) as a wildlife habitat tree.

Plus they grow fast!

Hope I get a few. They were all pretty dry when I got them. All floaters too, but I potted them up just to see.
