Does anyone have a clue what kind of oak this is? It is evergreen or mostly evergreen thru winter here in my southern zone 7B. The trunk doesn't look like a live oak at all, but the leaves are leathery and stiff-like. Anybody?

Not a 100% ID but, While there can be variability between specimens, esp. if crossed w/ another sp., Leaf shape / look of the trunk point me towards Q. hemisphaerica ( Darlington Oak ) as a good place to start. Laurel Oak can look similar though.

Taking it a step further, would look over species / crosses listed within both the subsection Phellos and Incana on iNaturalist to narrow down the list of possibilities a bit more, if Darlington isn't a good fit.
