Trees from a distance

Holly?

 

[Waldo]

no to all, first guess was moving in a good direction.

 

[Bendroctanus]

Quercus robur

 

[oceans]

That looks like a fairly consistent opposite bud pattern. Is it at a fully mature size for the species?

Quercus Virginiana?

i think they can get a bit bigger than this one in its native range, but this is by far the largest ive seen.

also no to the above guesses. but back on track.

I’m clueless on this one. Hint?

Q. Tomentella?

Quercus ilex?

not tomentella or ilex, much more indumentum on the leaves than both of those.

Quercus greggii​

Never would've guessed without that clue though.

 

[Neill]

Wow how is that living up there??

 

[Stelzer]

Okay, this one is really hard. I've got some clues ready to go. The leaves are looking a little rough, we had a hard winter. View attachment 93622

Is this on NE 111th just north of Knott street? It has to be.

Yup, thats right where that one is.

It grows really well up here! I planted a Q. greggii in my yard about 3 years ago and it is thriving. I don't know how well it will do in more humid regions, but in the PNW it crushes.
