Darn,one of those is hanging over my truck in the driveway.Always just called it an oak.By the way,Deer will not hardly eat them down here.Lets try Quercus virginiana,or the Live Oak.
Hillbilly:
They resemble white oak acorns (Quercus alba), but seem to have more tapered bases than our white oaks. I'm not familiar with all your Floridian oak trees, though.

Quercus virginiana, Live Oak. Located from SE Virginia along the coastal areas down to and around Fla and west to Texas. In the S.E. US it was prised for wooden ship building. The limbs were picked for their shapes, cut to actual size, drilled , mortised and tenons cut then it was placed in the salt marsh for a year where it mineralized. It was cut beforehand because it couldn't be cut after it came out of the salt marsh. ;D Pat
