[QUOTE="TNTreeman, post: 5711205, member: 18741"] Pin oak is 100% in the red family. Don’t care what the internet says they are not native to Tn. I’ve studied them for yrs and they are horrible in our area. Some municipalities around here don’t allow them to be planted bc of all the problems they have. When a client calls and they have an Oak problem it’s almost always a pin oak. They are more of a Ohio , Kentucky , Indiana, tree. They were brought here as a fast grower and bc they grow fast we’re desirable. Only after awhile and studying it was found they don’t do well with long dry summers or limestone, which is what we have. Most likely and not trying to speak for him but Huntaholic is most likely speaking for the logging guys and they call chinkapins “ pins” for short and there lies the confusion. I would highly doubt any logger is cutting a true quercus palustrus “ pin oak” out in Tn forests . I’m no expert at all but it is my business but I can smell the wood or sawdust and tell the difference between red and white. Red smells like dog crap and white smells like whisky . [/QUOTE]
