We purchased some land in Colquitt County, Georgia last year and have been enjoying the change in scenery. I'm pretty good at oak ID but this tree has me and online apps stumped. This one is on the edge of swamp (uphill) in relatively dry ground. Has characteristics similar to a white oak and swamp chestnut oak. Leaf shape looks like a mix between the two. Acorns are more round than the other white oaks on the property.
It looks to be potentially some sort of hybrid with an overcup oak based on the cap, but I haven't seen any overcup oaks on the property or surrounding areas.
