Thanks once again for the great info Blame. I think we have Shumard, Southern and Scarlett Oaks on our property. Looks right anyway..............I'll have to wait until later this year to be able to identify them right lol. They're a bit on the bare side right now.

I asked my hubby to take pictures for me............he said he would.......yeah right, I'll believe it when he picks the camera up lol. He says mostly what we have out here is "fence oak".........whatever the heck that might be. He also said white oak. I don't think he really knows just is making like he does lol.........that's my hubby! I think he says that because most of the trees are small.
