speaking of IDing trees...
 

I'm still trying to learn southern trees. There was a tree behind my
first apartment in Austin, and I don't know what it was. The leaves
resembled pecan or walnut, it had smooth but peeling in patches bark,
and grew very elongated acorns.

I figured that the acorns implied some sort of oak, but I'm only familiar
with white oak and red oak from up north, which both have lobed leaves,
the white with rounded lobes and the red with pointy lobes, and rougher
bark that doesn't peel.
