Not a water oak that's for sure! Quercus shurmardii???

 

[klimbinfool]

nope , not a Shumardii either.This is a evergreen, kind of reminds me of a Tan Oak in the way it has that fuzzy stuff that makes you cough and hack.

This is a Holly Oak. Quercus Ilex ( Rotindifolia) Also known as a Holm Oak.
