Thank you gentlemen, I had some of the laterals removed over the house this past Jan on this one, the same day I had a red oak dropped. I have 6 red oak (I'm almost certain) trees and this double White oak. The White oak will Remain for now. But it is nice to know what I have, thanks again for your help guys. I knew that would not take long....
White oak leaves coming about in spring: An easy tell between white & red varieties: Note the use of the term "usually" applied to describing red oak leaves.... Just some internet stock shots, but that's how a few of us here drill down to a solid guess/answer depending on the ID. As to your "location" response, you might remember I'm a native Long Islander and I recall my dad felling and splitting up plenty of each (red & white) which is prolly why I don't mind the smell of oak at all. But those times with my pop helped me to call out some of the more common species, too.
My wife and I might be heading to LI in July.....maybe a few of ya LI hawdahs and this one long lost transplant can meet up for a bit?
I know this isn't "PC," but I was told that white oak lobes are rounded like bullets, and red oak lobes are sharp like arrows. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
