Will repeat from the other thread:
"
If the lopes of oak leaves are rounded, they are of the white oak clan. If pointed lobes, then of the black oak clan (red oaks).
If I remember correctly - a former biologist and writer who posts over on another site concluded their research on the subject revealed - preferred acorn species varied from region to region, deer to deer, and oak species to oak species, with no one certain acorn species preferred over another and believe it may have been more to do about ground minerals and nut toxicity over others.
If it’s an acorn, they’ll eat it but prefer certain trees over others regardless of species which I tend to agree. Squirrel hunted enough to know squirrels prefer certain trees over others and will cut them out first before moving on the next preferred tree even of the same species.
