Black oak?

[Familytradition]

I'm out in a local park hunting acorns. Noticed the squirrels hammering this one. I'm not great with the red oak family. Very small acorns.

I think so, but not 100% certain.... I always think Black oaks look like a cross between norther red oaks and pin oaks. They are the size and style of a NRO, but they have deeper lobes like a pin oak, without the "thin" appearance of a pin oak leaf.

What you doing by the train tracks? That's where all the pot-heads, hobo's and skanks hang out......Oh, I get it.....Never mind!!!

Reminds me of black oak. I always think the bark, especially on mature black oaks looks a little bit like alligator hide, with separate, blocky shapes, as opposed to red oaks more linear bark pattern.

Peel off a little bit of bark, the black oak has a very orange colored inner park.

People look at me like I'm one of those people carrying my bag of nuts around the park.
