Originally posted by CalibogueA live oak is in the white oak family, not red oak.
White oaks can produce an acorn in one growing season vs two growing seasons for red oaks.
Acorn production can vary significantly across regions and from season to season.
For instance, I have noticed that coastal swamp chestnut are much more prolific producers year to year than inland swamp chestnuts.
Red oaks are typically more dependable producers annually, but you never know and hybridization is very common among Quercus.
However, live oak is not a hybrid!
Calibogue, you sure on the live oak? I was always taught that the Live oak is a member of the EverGreen oak. Red oaks and white oaks loose their leaves through winter whereas the “live” oak does not drop leaves until new growth starts.
Forestry class for me was back in 1984 and From what I remember you have Red Oaks… Willow, Black, water, pin, turkey. / White Oak… Bur, Post, Chinkapin / hungarian/italian oak … got to tastes some wine with and without it’s fruit added. Then you have your evergreen oak … live oak.
It’s all good! freedomfisher made me knock off some cobwebs and also second guessing on a couple.

I’m very sure!
Also, there is no such thing as an “evergreen” oak, the term is “persistent”!
All the “species” you listed are either a red or a white…period!
