Shingle oak has unique leaves for oak. They are not lobed but long and narrow. 1-2" wide. This is the first time I have ever seen any fall color in Shingle oak. The leaves hang on throughout the winter, so the tree is easy to identify. But there has never been any color before.
Blue jays have been known to carry the acorns for up to a mile. Shingle oak is a pioneer species that invades pastures and other open ground.
