#2 is not pin oak but you may be calling it pin oak by mistake.

Nuttalls seem to have a lot this year. Seems like acorns are dropping early too. Have seen swamp chestnut oaks and nuttall oaks dropping good where as it is usually a little later.

I think a lot of people call nutall oaks pin oaks. I've heard them call willow oaks pin oaks also.

I certainly didn't intend to come across as "all-knowing". I learn more on here than I know and I enjoy talking habitat.

Have yall ever noticed the nuttall acorns in the south Delta and La are more elongated than the ones in the north Delta yet you see no different names for them? We always called them striped acorns when referring to the drop and deer foraging on them.

All right. Top two are one kind and bottom two are another. I'd never be able to seperate them (especially without the caps) if I hadn't picked them up from under trees I could identify by leaves.
