Title: Another Tree Id
Post by: SeanStuart on October 30, 2015, 06:26:21 am

These trees are all over the NC Sandhills. I can't seem to find an id online or in my tree books. They seem to be a smaller oak. The bark is medium rough. They don't get too big. Tend to be pretty straight. Any thoughts? Thanks.

With the rounded lobes they are some kind of white oak. Overcup oak maybe.

Does look like some sort of white oak. Overcup maybe, But even they are supposed to have leaves longer than 4 inches.

Most of the "true" white oaks I have seen have much larger leaves. These leaves are all small, and the trees do not seem to get very big.

Yup...a whife oak of sorts...sometimes they can be smaller and stunted growth in poor growing conditions like sandy poor nutrient and ph soils.
