Ive always known em as shin oaks myself.

You got those in Leakey don't ya?

I was positive it was a shin oak until I read this thread. Maybe they are trophy sized shin oaks!

It could be a "Shin Oak". It could also be a Lacey Oak, also known as a Canyon Oak.

That is not a "Shin Oak". Its actually a Lacey Oak, also known as a Canyon Oak.

Most likely...

We have been calling them shin oaks but I'm not real sure. They are a much smaller, softer wood tree than our "majority" live oaks with a very thin bark. During the ice storm we lost a ton of branches from them. They produce a very small acorn and are pretty plentiful right now compared to our live oaks. The live oaks are down in numbers this year thankfully.

Anyway, I just wanted to confirm the name so I can read more about what we really have on the place. thks

Do the deer eat the acorns?

I'm certain that's an oak tree.

The locals in that area call them Spanish oak, I've also heard talk of lace oak but have never had one pointed out. The Spanish oak isn't known for making a lot of acorns unless you get some good summer rains.

This should help answer the question. Our place is covered in these trees and thickets. The browse they provide can support large numbers of deer.

We have a ton of them Smart in Sonora...the ranchers call them Spanish Oaks or Lace Oaks..They produce very small acorns in our area but the Axis and whitetail will rub the bark off nearly every one of them in core areas.

Strange...I've always associated spanish oaks with pointy leaves. AKA, Texas oak, or Texas red oak.
