Leaf ID

[lildorris00]

can anyone help ID this leaf/tree?possible a shingle oak? I cleared 8-10 acres of naturally regrowth pines (previously was timber land) but I tried to leave the oaks trees (most 10-15 yr old). I can ID most of them but not 100% sure what this one is. It may not even be an oak. Thanks

Looks like an immature water oak or a willow oak to me.

Willow oak imo. Possible laurel or cherry laurel, too.

Willow oak.

Laurel oak. Or maybe a mix between a willow and laurel.

Thanks everyone, general consensus is willow or laurel. Both are worth keeping.

Not a shingle oak. Shingle oak leaves are bigger and wider. Willow, laurel, or a hybrid, IMO. Immature water oak leaves can look like that too, as sportsman94 said, but not usually on trees that size.
