I have a tree in my front yard that died this year. I have asked many people that have came by and no one can agree as to what it is.. Anybody know for sure?   |

It looks like a pin oak (sp ck). It would b easier to id if u could find a live 1 n post pics of the leaves. But goin by bark n limb formation, pin oak or white oak. What did the acorns look like?

that would be my guess white oak . the limb structure it could be a red as well . to hard to tell from the picture . did it have big acorns or little acorns on it . the drought coupled with the oak wilt here in east texas has took it's toll at the house . I have a lot of fire wood cutting to do . lost some good tree's on this place , but it needed thinning out a bunch .

 Here is a picture of the leaves on the tree next to it. I believe they are the same trees. The real question is... Is it good cooking wood or should I have a bonfire? |

I just looked at the pic of the leaves on the pic he posted. I had only looked at the first pic. The leaves do look like a water oak! The pic of it standing looks like a pin oak.

Thank you. It's a lot of wood to waste on a bonfire.

Not sure if they are good to cook with but they are a pain to have around your house in a hurricane, they drop branches something awful.
