    Hello, How is everyone? I was hoping someone could help me identify some plants I have on my property. I can't seem to find them online or in books. Thanks in advanced.



    There are multiples of the same plant I also have some more. Im going to add them to photo bucket and post a link.

    Im assuming the first and second pictures are "Black Jack Oak" but Im not 100% sure.
    The third and fourth I assume are "Japanese Red Maple" but Im not sure on that one.

    Last one might be southern red oak, Quercus falcata. The leaves can be highly variable when young.

    Ok, I took a better look at the larger trees I thought might be "American Beech" and now Im confused. "American Beech" has a very smooth bark & my trees have very rough and notchy bark but the leaves look exactly the same.
    I do have a tree with the same leaves that is smooth (in photo) but it's much smaller than the rough bark ones. So now Im leaning more toward Quercus michauxii or Quercus prinus... What do you think?
