I'll give details if asked, but this shouldn't be too hard. ;)

Cow oak in Texas, or Basket Oak to the Indians.
Don, I can see how you might think it is a Quercus michauxii Nuttall.....but I don't think it is.
Based on the leaf shape it has to be
Quercus bicolor Willdenow or.......Swamp White Oak :o
Is that right Swampwhiteoak? What do I win? Huh? Huh?

Charlie is the winner! You win the satisfaction of knowing you got it right. :D
Am I smart or what! DonT answer that! ;D
Sorry, Charlie (no play on tuna 8)) but Quercus michauxii isn't found that much in Texas, those are the local names for Swamp White Oak. :P
I know, it's a Texas thang.
Hmmmmm Don..... :P My source says Swamp Chestnut Oak is also known as Basket Oak and Cow Oak. It's latin name is Quercus michauxii Nuttall. It's range is in the pan handle of Florida, most of Georgia (not in the mountains) up the east coast of the U.S. All of Alabama and Mississippi, most of Louisiana and just a smidgen over the border into eastern Texas. Maybe Basket and Cow Oak is laymen terminology that applies to more than one type of Oak. ::)
Exactly right Charlie, we also have pin oak, which has nothing to do with the northern pin oak. names from the east gathered west and fit on new stems.
