    Default Oak Tree ID

    I'm curious as to what kind of oak. It had a ton of acorns to be so small.

    I'm going to sprout the acorns and transplant them.

    This site has a ton of knowledgable guys who can probably give you the right answer. I bet you can easily find someone who works for the city associated with that project who can give you a definitive answer.

    I’m going to guess scarlet oak. Do the acorns have rings or arcs on them?

    I don’t think anyone with half a brain would plant a tree capable of growing 50-80’ that close to curb and sidewalk, but people do way dumber shit every second.

    Yeah but there’s smaller varieties that would be less invasive to the infrastructure.

    I too have questioned the landscaping decisions, specifically trees. .. I've showed up on lots where they remove every tree, then build a house, then what do they do? Plant new trees. Blows my mind.

    They plant Palmetto trees right up under a power line, then in 20 years they're leveling the Palmetto cause they gotta keep em out of the overhead power lines. Same goes for live oaks. Don't get me started on them.
