ID these acorns

left to right. Overcup, pinoak, water oak

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

[southernvaughan]

Your right... I know they are white oak acorns, and a pinoak is in the red oak family... So thats all I have white oak

[Wingman]

Lol. No, it's a red oak. Nutall.

[SWAG]

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.

[southernvaughan]

Ok im a dumbass you're all knowing moonpie man

[Wingman]

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.

naw man I was just kiddin

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.

You just want to put allisonii on the end of your trees, don't you?

I hear people call willow oaks "pin oaks" all the time too and it drives me crazy. I guess they do that because the willow oak leaves resemble what you would call a pin (long and skinny) shape???? It's hard to bite your tongue and not correct them when you know what a real pin oak is because most people will just roll their eyes and say whatever, close enough. I feel ya Wingman. Post some more id pics. It's good info.

[Wingman]

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.
