What kind of Red Oak is this?

I am thinking it looks close to a Shumard but a Northern Oak also close.

In our part of SC I have never seen before.

I have lots of scarlet oak trees, they can start producing acorns at 4" DBH, and it's what feeds our herd after the snow flies. Scarlet oak acorns a crucial, reliable food source for late-season nutrition.

Thank you. I live in zone 8b in the Lowcountry of SC and have never seen these before.

I was super excited and eager now to propagate the acorns for my own place.

Super deadly to have these acorns dropping like rain in December.
