ENTS Revisited the Henry Foundation in Gladwyne Pa Montgomery Co. the other day to try and ID an oak that I submitted to the National Champion Tree Program as a Mohr Oak, but it was contested. Turns out they were right. I believe the tree is a Bastard White oak, Quercus austrina, but we are still unsure...no acorns found.
