| This accumulation of water oak (Quercus nigra) acorns might go unnoticed; it blends in with the gravel path. These acorns were found under two large, on-site native water oaks growing near the top of the arboretum drainage, east of the Student Union Building. |
 |
| The acorns are the size of blueberries. It is doubtful that they are of comparable taste. |
 |
| Three acorns from the left to right: white oak (Quercus alba), swamp white oak (Quercus michauxii), and water oak (Quercus nigra) |
 |
| The water oak acorns look less blue with a light-colored background, but still small. |
