Sorry Carolyn, I should have at least listed them in my post. In order of appearance in the slideshow they are: 1) Scrub Oak- Quercus ilicifolia, a shrub 2) Spanish Oak- Quercus falcata 3) Blackjack Oak- Quercus marilandica 4) Chestnut Oak- Quercus prinus = Quercus montana (my pine barrens field guide says they are one in the same) 5) Post Oak- Quercus stellata 6) Willow Oak- Quercus phellos (not listed in my pine barrens field guide) 7) Scarlet Oak- Quercus coccinea 8) White Oak- Quercus alba 9) Black Oak- Quercus velutina 10) Possibly Saul's Oak, a hybrid, but I'm still not sure. I've found the trees growing in at least 3 places in the wild. All have leaves like in the slideshow. --- On Mon, 11/30/09, Carolyn Summers <[email protected]> wrote:

I recognized most, I think, but some are quite atypical, like the funny scarlet or pin oak leaf. Maybe some hybrids in there? -- Carolyn Summers 63 Ferndale Drive Hastings-on-Hudson, NY 10706 914-478-5712 From: Barry Caselli <[email protected]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:41:40 -0800 (PST) To: ENTS <[email protected]> Subject: [ENTS] Native oak species of the Pine Barrens Hello, Being out of the house 10 to 15 hours a day with my job at the cranberry farm, I can't go hiking and make videos any more, at least not until harvest is over. But recently I decided to take photos and make a slideshow. In my oak leaf collection I have leaves from all species of oak in the Pine Barrens except Dwarf Chestnut Oak. So I took a photograph of representative examples from each species (9, plus Scrub Oak), and then 3 more pictures, 4 species in one, 4 in the next, and 2 in the last. I did not put in captions to identify the species. Maybe one day I'll make a new slideshow with captions. But when you watch it you'll at least see what we have here. Willow Oak is the least widespread of all of them. I'm not sure if anyone in the ENTS has seen this yet. Here's the direct link: Hello, Being out of the house 10 to 15 hours a day with my job at the cranberry farm, I can't go hiking and make videos any more, at least not until harvest is over.
