Thanks for the leads. Looking at my tree guides I could only tell it wasn't a pin or burr oak lol. Only had my cell phone with me for pics. Has good resolution but doesn't zoom worth &*$@.Even dorking it up and standing in the bed of the truck I couldn't get any closer to the leaves. Gathered up a couple acorns but who knows which oak in the grove they were from. I'll see if any sprout up in the spring with similar leaves.

Thanks ! Interesting... the small tree in your first pic has some resemblance to the one at the top of this thread -- but the form is obviously different. Just a slightly different variant of the same plant ?

Hurray for pollinators! They are sensitive creatures who need our protection and appreciation, for sure!!! The point is, for some humans, the fig plant odor really is challenging!. A little undserstanding that we all have different sensory sensitivities, pleae. I am learning about neurodiversity and have graowing compassion for autistic people who struggle with what neurotypical people don;t even notice, such as loud music in stores and restaurants. A previos comment about how some people's urine smells strong after eating asparaus is a great example of how we cannot control these differences. This is not a dualistic debate about who is right and who is wrong about what a tree smells like; I can accept that for some people the smell is wonderful, and for some the smell is non-existent, and for some it is intolerable. Maybe our endangered pollinators are a warning to the rest of us that many of our modern ways are destructive to everyone - and the autistic or highly sensitive among us serve also as a warning.... When the most vulnerable among us suffer, we all ultimately suffer. Thank you to any who take the time to read my request for understanding that goes beyond fig trees, and especailly to those who grow in appreciation of our differences. :)

Oh lord... I have seen them tons of times... don't know what it is... possibly horseweed Conyza canadensis or flaxleaf fleabane?
