Description
Strange that he knew that it’s castaneifolia (chestnut-leaved oak), as this hybrid with Quercus cerris (Turkey oak) doesn’t look much like this species.
If it even is this hybrid and not some other Quercus species.

Most websites don’t allow for HTML injection, this one included. This site has a proprietary tagging system.
I know right? Unless they were implying he was bad at identifying leaves as opposed to wood, heh. But yeah… so close and yet so far, even though most people aren’t gonna notice or care.
Dang. Usually they seem pretty good about small details like that.
The only one I know is “the larch”.
It could be cerris, but immediately I was more drawn to alba or lobata, especially as I’d assume they would be more likely to use a North American leaf assuming they didn’t just do a web search for ‘oak leaf’ for the episode. They went as amazingly far as naming the genus, something I would never have expected them to do, but then they just threw in a totally wrong species. Unless it’s a joke that went over my head, but why would they
Quercus lobata (the California native valley oak) for reference, perhaps most likely
Quercus alba, white oak, extremely common and what I initially assumed
Quercus gambelli is also possible
Am much less familiar with European oaks, so will defer to others’ expertise on those possible options. But castaneafolia, it is absolutely not. Ten points the show staff effort though.
Maybe he was juding from the wood and not the leaves. Perhaps this hybrid has bark after castaneifolia and not cerris.
Mudbriar would have been technically wrong if he missed the hybridization.
Who is?
I mean, where did she get the branch? The local dump??!
