Swamp White Oak....or some variant of. That long stem gives it away in a heart beat! It's the ONLY oak I am aware of that has an acorn with a long stem like that.

Thank you!
 
English oak, Quercus robur also has long acorn stalks. The leaves differ from SWO. Swamp White Oak has peeling bark on the branches about an inch thick.

They can form hybrids. Hybrids are common in the nursery trade.
