| I found this little seedling in my backyard a few weeks ago. I dug it up and planted it in a pot to keep it safe from lawnmowers and weedeaters hoping I'd be able to identify it. I have not had any luck in identifying using my books or internet guides. Any guesses? Could it be a hybrid? |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| Species in red oak group (Quercus coccinea, Q. rubra etc.). Leaves become more characteristic after tree is a little older. These species do also cross with one another, multiple different hybrids have been named and described. |
|
| Very likely to be a "mixed-sap" species (hybrid). Most oaks are very promiscuous (likely to cross with members of other species). |
