I don't know. Those all look like Scarlet to me. We have both here as well.

No ruckus at all. This is a very, very useful direction to take. There's no limit to what we can accomplish with comparative images. The attached images show 3 black and 3 scarlet oak leaves. Or is it 2 black and 4 scarlet oak leaves?

I've attached a few bark pics of Oaks and Tupelos from locals woods. In my area the Red Oaks(Red, Black, Pin, Scarlet) all occur in the same woods and seem to display an intergrading continuum of characteristics--the photos are of the most typical for the species.

The tree next to the parking lot is the only tupelo tree in the area that we walked on Sunday. I then went back to the Chestnut oak ( the one I referred to as a Black oak) and found the leaves and the fruit so I could correct the confusion I created. The area is a great spot for doing oak tree identification because there are Red, White, Black, and Chestnut oak all growing together in one happy community.
