I believe tree #1 is a regular White Oak (Quercus alba). Tree #2 I'm confused on. The leaves looks a little different to me and the acorns are significantly different. All the acorns on tree #1 are round and brown, on tree #2 they were all green or green/ brown and a oblong shape. Is there any way these are both white oaks but they just have different shaped acorns? Tree #1 Tree #2
