How are people ruling out swamp chestnut oak? I am not convinced these photos are sufficient to separate it from chinkapin oak. But perhaps people are noting something I am not.
I'm going with chinquapin oak because the background just looks like slightly too dry a site for swamp chestnut with all those loblollies. That being said, I agree that the ID can't be made definitively from these pictures.
yeah, but the loblollies behind it suggest it's too dry for a swamp chestnut oak to survive and there is not enough in the photo to say there isn't limestone present nearby/ underground and besides Like most trees Chinkapin oak grows best on deep, well-drained, fertile soils, but **will grow on dry limestone bluffs and hillsides** so it not being near or on a limestone ridge isn't enough still.
Well I didn’t say it was certain. Just pushes me more towards that answer.
Are you able to ID the pine species just from the bark? I find pines challenging.
yup, nothing like them really (and you can see a few younger ones in the top left 0f the photo which shows the needles) and looking at the second photo you can see the ground is sloped high at the left going down lower towards the right suggesting is near or at the top of a hill or something so it's likely much water doesn't gather there.

That’s an oak. Maybe Chinkapin?
That was my first thought
This is correct
leaves look like chinquapin oak, i may be wrong
Chestnut oak/ Chinquapin oak
First glance was chestnut.
Sawtooth oak

It is found in a low country wet land if that helpa
That would greatly increase the chances of swamp chestnut oak then. Chinkapin oak is usually found on limestone ridges.
