	Chestnut oak
		The leaves are virtually identical to those of the chinkapin oak, but the trees can readily be distinguished by the bark, because that of the chinkapin oak is a light ash-gray and somewhat peeling like that of the white oak.
		The chestnut oak is easily distinguished from the swamp white oak because that tree has whitened undersides on the leaves.
		The acorns of the chestnut oak are some of the largest of native American oaks, surpassed in size only by the bur oak[?] and possibly swamp chestnut oak, and are a valuable wildlife food.
