I love your plum thickets. That is something I would diffintiately would like more of.
I think I brought you some Chinkapin and Sawtooth. That one looks like Sawtooth to me (on my small phone screen).
Bummer that your place has been underwater all spring and summer! It's been an unusual year for sure. Hope you didn't loose too much of the work you've done on the place!

Leafs look similar on all three but the acorns on the Sawtooth are way different. I can't really tell from the pic but your nuts look spikey. Chincs and DCO have no spikes.
Might just be a genetic freak! Save some nuts for me and I'll have my freshmen grow them next year. We'll develop a new strain and sell them for mega $$$
Top pic is a Chinquapin, the bottom pic is a DCO. I don't have any Sawtooths producing yet... You do know there's a double charge for early producers?

I think the pic in question is of an Allegheny Chinkapin. They do have a spiny shell like a chestnut and it appears that the leaves in the picture look to match. They are an early producer as well.
Look at this thread and it should show you some pictures of an older one:

I think you nailed it! It must be an Allegheny Chinkapin.
Buckdeer threw me off when he said I gave that tree to him. I give away a lot of Sawtooth, DCO's, and native Chinkapin oak so I was assuming it had to be one of those. The fact is... HE gave me a handful of Allegheny Chinkapin a couple of years ago when he bought a bundle and I'm betting that's what it is. Funny thing is the one's on his place have obviously flourished and the one's on my place barely survive. The one's on my place that didn't die haven't grown more than a few inches, while his are producing already. We only live a short distance from each other but we have very different soils and growing conditions.
Thanks for posting!
Wow I thought I had them straight but it must be the others that you gave me cat/Thanks for figuring that out.This spring I found a guy with a big spade and some free time that wanted to keep his guys working so he cut me a deal.These were oaks that were planted in a riparian buffer.I had too high of success when testing tubes for the NRCS and wouldn't cut them down to thin.The contract ran out so I move 18 trees to thin the rows
How does everyone feel about crab apples?These little ones never seem to be used and I would imagine they were yard trees sold as deer trees.I have several that are little red fruits about as big as a thumb nail and hard even though they look ripe.The ones on this tree look better but if they don't feed wildlife I will replace.
After A week of temps close to 100 we got 7/10 of inch of rain yesterday evening.Everything needed a drink which is surprising after getting around 40 inches the months of may and june.Have some real pretty bucks that I will put my daughters on as I will be in NM elk and deer hunting opening week.
