Can someone please help me figure out what a particular tree is?
It had acorns, a bit smaller than most oak acorns I've seen.
The leaves were not multi-lobed like oak leaves; in fact they looked a lot like bay leaves. (They didn't smell like bay leaves, though.)
The bark was unremarkable, vaguely like a thousand varieties of deciduous trees (elm, oak, maple, etc).
It was located in Tamarack, West Virginia.
Thank you!
