    Default acorn identification?

    What are these? They are about the size of a ripe persimmon.

    maybe small swamp chestnut oak,,, look at the tree if the leaves look like a skill saw blade then its a swamp chestnut and you need to hang a stand close to it

    This year I've seen more acorns, and more persimmons. I've been hunting this property 11 years, and find another persimmon tree each year. I have 100+ trees and 30 are 30 plus feet tall. All this year are slap loaded.

    Looks like white oak (Quercus_alba) acorns to me too.

    Speaking of acorns there's an old church just across the rr tracks in Troy. In the churchyard there's a bunch of old Bur Oaks. Dang acorns are almost as big as your fist. That's the only place I have seen them in SC.

    Bur Oak Acorns

    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    Bur Oaks are really neat.. Dhall those are Swamp Chestnut acorns and yes they are a member of the White Oak Family but are not as palatable to deer as the True Whiteoak they are definitely eaten by deer, hogs and turkeys when the others aren't around.
