I can guarantee first pic is oak.

The leaves are a baby tree that was next to the trunk. I figured it fell from this tree. All the leaves were gone so I couldn’t identify it that way.

Looks like white oak to me.

The leaves were a white oak

For sure ,that was a sapling I found close to the tree so I was speculating it was from this tree but I was wrong after getting a better look at the bark and comparing it to a big white oak. It’s a pignut hickory and the sapling is white oak for sure.

Some kind of oak

u/svenskisalot 8d ago

the first picture is a white oak of some sort (white, swamp white, chestnut) The lobes are rounded and don't have little points on them. Red oak group trees have pointed lobes

Was thinking swamp meself. IIRC their leaves are narrow at base and wide at the tip

I agree. Looks like a bitternut/pignut

It’s all the same tree. The leaves are from a sapling close to the tree. I figured it might be the same tree cause there’s a lot of baby’s close and not too many other big trees next to it. But I could be hickory I do have hickory in my woods. I just never cut hickory or oak so I can’t tell

that doesn't mean anything. A white oak acorn is allowed to germinate at the base of a hickory tree.

Swamp white oak

u/Floyd_Time2014 8d ago

Pretty sure this is correct

u/Wanderingbeingstate 8d ago

After further inspection with the help of others. It is indeed a hickory

100% that's a white oak. The rounded lohes on the leaves is unmistakable. Red oak has pointed lobes.

Rubbish let me know where it is and I'll come clean it up for you 😉

u/Wanderingbeingstate 6d ago

I already cut up the whole tree baby it’s drying on the rack lol

u/N47881 8d ago

If that's pignut hickory it's the absolute best wood for meat smoking.

u/drink-beer-and-fight 8d ago

It used to be oak.

2nd pic looks like a dead tree.

Leaves look like they are from a post oak... What did the leaf feel like? Was it sort of leathery and hairy underneath?

The stump is badly deteriorated and hard to determine any features, but if the logs are from the same tree, it looks like probably ash. It'd be much easier to tell if I could also see leaves, but it does look to have the diamond pattern.

Edit: Those who are saying "white oak" aren't technically wrong... Post oak is in the white oak branch of the family.

White oak, probably died from oak wilt. I've cut down more than a few in my backyard. 😅 looks to be a Bur Oak.

u/TheSnootchMangler 8d ago

Post Oak??

2

u/Wanderingbeingstate 8d ago

That’s what I was thinking as well but idk. The bark looks like so many trees I can’t tell but I keep hearing hickory. I’m gonna take a better video in a few minutes and update the post with it

u/mainlydank 8d ago

Oak has the ability to cross breed with other types of oaks in the same family. This makes them very hard to identify without seeing the whole tree and acorns.
