Hey, EscambiaGuy,
Bur oak is native to AL, but only in one small area in Montgomery County. Bur oak has been planted extensively around the Auburn University campus as a street tree. I have one selection I've made from trees on the vet school campus there that produces the largest acorn I've run across yet(but still not so large as those of Q.insignis.) Never have been able to find out from anyone if the AU trees are AL natives, or if they were imports from elsewhere, like TX or OK.

Hey, while I'm thinking of it, did you ever know Dr. Harold Tennant, the veterinarian, there in Atmore, or any of his daughters? I used to hunt with him some when I was a kid, and would occasionally get the chance to visit him at his place at Orange Beach, and he'd take us out fishing.
