Though flowers were present, I used the non-flowering key first. The flowering key seems to lead to the same identification, though it was harder for me to follow because I had to look up new vocabulary.

This one was easy. The gumballs were a dead giveaway, but I followed the key anyway and encountered no issues.

| ID | *Pin Oak (Quercus palustris) |
*I am not confident in this ID versus similar oaks. The hairiness of the buds is difficult to discern and most were out of reach. No acorns were present either.
