Type of tree

[RWB]

I need help identifying what type of tree this. I am going to cut it up for firewood if it's an oak.

Based on the pic, it looks to be a water oak which is in the red oak family

Might be Osage orange . You will wear out a chain if it is.

Appears to be water oak from that pic

Water oak was my thought as well.
Not an Osage orange.

In east Texas, we call it Pin Oak. It’s all that my brother uses in his wood stove.

I grew up calling them pin oak as well. lol. When I got interested in tree identification and forestry in high school I learned they are completely different and I don’t know if I’ve honestly even seen a true pin oak. They have leaves very similar to a shumard oak

I grew up in south Louisiana and the natives called willow oak a pin oak. I always assumed it was because the acorns were so small.

What ever it is burn it

Very thoughtful of the tree to not pull up a giant plug of dirt with the rootball

Water Oak! I have one dying that I will have to cut down.

[RWB]

Sounds like it's time to break out the log splitter.

[Bigfootwolff]

Water Oak it is.

If it is a water oak you better cut and split it soon. For some reason they rot quickly.

Water oak, or duck foot oak.

I also call a pin oak a willow oaks as well (not what is pictured of course).
