Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

Help me identify this tree, spotted overhead where we were waiting for an Uber in Lexington, KY. Never saw leaves like this. One of those smallish sidewalk trees, about 15' tall at most. No sign of flowers. PlantID

Google lens is saying Quercus phellos, the willow oak. It’s native to the south-central and eastern areas of North America and falls in the red oak group of oaks. Let me know what you think, Eileen 🤔

We have lots of Willow Oak here! They are very nice trees and our city puts them in a lot of the parks.
