Oak leaf if

[Harrison_smith]

Looking for help with oak leaf ID. Memphis, TN. These leaves are all from the same tree.

Looks like a Red Oak to me, and the leaves look like the tree has chlorosis based on the color of the lighter leaves. You may want to have a local Certified Arborist who specializes in plant health care take a look at this tree, and maybe have some lab tests done to see what’s going on with it.

Definitely Red Oak group, but probably not northern Red Oak in Memphis. I would say Shummard Oak.

x2 on Quercus shumardii.

Any acorns laying around?

If so get some pics of those. The whole acorn cap and pic of the bottom (Scarlet Oak has a circle around the bottom)

Cherry Bark Oak,also called pagoda oak?
I have to look up botanical name.
Shape of lobes is a match. If it has horizontal lenticles on bark that resemble Cherry tree you might want to look that up.
I’ve encountered two….. both were planted trees.

This is the one i came across, similar to Quercus falcata but leaf base is not rounded

Thanks for your response! I didn’t see acorns but will keep an eye out.

Cherrybark oak 100%. I am in NE Memphis area and that is one of our top 3 oaks around here. The shallow sinus on the upper canopy leaves is the giveaway. On the other red oaks, the upper canopy leaves tend to have deeper sinuses. I always think the Cherrybark oak leaf lobes look "fat" compared to other red oaks.
