Cutting yesterday and couldnt ID this tree. I had to trim a couple lower dead limbs and confirmed its oak of some kind. Found acorn remnants too. Never seen an oak like this. Could be some type of hybrid???
Think so? Im wondering if the fact the are very close (quarter mile) to the ocean if it affects the color? Cant say i noticed leaves on the ground, just saw the acorns.
Drove by a couple larger pin oaks yesterday (ones that appear to have been purposely planted) and the bark color was similar. I think this one may have been intentionally planted there.
Acorns look kind of like Live oak. Maybe not native in your location, but maybe it was planted as you mentioned.
