Hey! That's by my church. Is that not an oak? I'm no arborist, to be sure.

Its a Bur Oak.
It looks very similar to Red/Shumard Oak, but it has huge classic looking acorns.

Thanks for the quick response but I don't think its a Bur oak. The leaves on this tree are are more pointed and not rounded like on a Bur Oak. I have provided photos of bark and leaves.

Yes, it is Quercus shumardii, the Shumard variety of southern red oak. Nice specimen, by the way.
