What's it good for?
Acorns for forage, firewood, building wood, splits for baskets/crafts, smoking wood, etc?

I am now questioning the Swamp White Oak, as my leaves aren't really waxy at all, but everything on the internet makes specific mention of the waxiness.
Also, there's some more mature versions of this tree out there, and they don't have huge acorns, just regular sized acorns.

They have big acorns. Not “baseball” sized, but the biggest that I know of here in the SE. they are bigger then your over cup and regular white oaks(Albas).
Fun fact: always remember white oak’s scientific name because Jessica Alba is white in my book too

White bear might be right. Probably is. I googled the saplings and it looks more like alba then swamp chestnut oak. Ooops
I was way wrong on the scientific name of swamp chestnut oaks, also. It’s actually Quercus michauxii... I don’t know why I thought it started with Ch

Leaves on saplings can be quite different from a mature tree. I don’t think you have a Quercus michauxii, but it is some sort of white oak.

Chestnut Oak. We have several of them. Huge acorns.
Edit: I was wrong. Definitely not a chestnut oak. Looks like a young white oak.

Agree definitely not Quercus michauxii (cow oak, swamp chestnut oak).
I think it is probably a straight up white oak. Quercus Alba. Like has been mentioned really young saplings have much broader leaves.

Poison Oak?

Looks like a white oak.

Quercus alba more than likely. I will need a bark pic for examination
Posted on 5/27/20 at 8:40 pm to Outdoorreb
That's not a swamp chestnut oak. Leaves do not look like that.

White oak (Q. alba)
Cow Oaks have waxier leaves and more serrations on the leaf edge.
