Cap looks to be a Sawtooth, but the tip looks like a Burr's...
Could be a natural hybrid??? Not sure when this acorn was found but that's impressive to find an acorn of that size still around.

Then again it's 80 degrees here in December, so anythings possible!

Got another one for you guys. Found these last week and spread 150ish around my parents place (the one I hope to buy or lease around 2020). I am thinking Pin Oak...? I spread the same amount of another type, but just realized I didn't take a pic of them. I plan to spend quite a bit of time locating specimens of numerous species in preparation for huge amounts of plantings once I get the place.


I didn't float test them, but I really don't expect any of them to survive being browsed by the cows on the place anyways. I tucked most of them back in thorn bushes, against short shrubs.

I think your right about them being pin oak

Did the tree have lots of limbs on it? Many small twigs branching off the limbs? Pretty much like if your kite blew into it you might be able to pull it out but it would be torn to shreds? If so its more than likely a pin oak. Probably the worse tree i have ever had to climb and remove IMO next to a shag bark hickory

That is a great description. I would say non self pruning (limbs pretty much all the way down) and lots of little limbs everywhere twisting and turning in all directions. Also, I am pretty sure I found a few chinkapin acorns, so I will DEFINITELY be checking that one after green up to get a positive ID. Hopefully I can have 12 or 13 different species located and ready for collection in fall 2018 and 2019, that way I have a bunch of 1 yr old seedlings to bare root transplant, and another batch of fresh acorns to both plant for bareroot and direct seed the winter I take over the property.

Sounds like your on your way to a pretty good start. I remember my great uncle Tony always haveing tons of small oak trees in old tin coffee cans all over his garage. Im not sure what he ever did with any of them because he has not one oak tree on his property.

found another type of acorn that looks a lot like what I thought were Pin Oak acorns (the pic before this one). These are not near as round and the stripes are WAY more defined. Are these just variations of the same species??

[Outdoor814]

Hard to tell. They very we'll could be the same. Look almost identical except the shape.

Idk. Those lines are pretty defined. Not like the pin oak acorns. I'm starting to have second thoughts now....
