If anyone can offer insight, it would be appreciated. This Oak is a mature tree in zone 5. It's on a front lawn and its wide spreading habit suggests that it was planted and is not a forest remnant. Probably from the white oak group? Bark is flaky so it's not Q. prinus. Other white oaks, native or otherwise that are common to the area are Q. alba, macrocarpa, muehlenbergii, and robur. If it was a hybrid and not a species, what mix might it be? Looks a bit like Quercus michauxii but leaf underside is not fuzzy. From Drop Box
