New Mexico Oak1 1

[RGus]

I am in Roswell New Mexico and I have two young oaks that I cannot figure out. I will post them in two different threads. This is the first oak. I was thinking a gamble oak, but I am not sure.

Here is a closer shot of the terminal bud. The tree is only about 1 inch in caliper.

Thanks

Looks like Gamble to me but there's more variety at lower elevations around here.
