I was going to guess, the Interior Live Oak (Q. wislizeni). But again, just a wild guess.

Oh, I did! I found myself some nice Valley Oak acorns (Quercus lobata) that I planted a couple weeks ago. Their taproots have already begun their descent!I would have guessed interior live oak as well, given the acorns.
However, very hard to differentiate California live oaks from one another. Leaves can look different based on environment or conditions, and they can change in appearance annually.
Better to get yourself some California valley oaks... and then you won't have to wonder
If it's Quercus tomentella, then that would be really cool. The Channel Islands are special with several unique species of plants and animals, including dwarf mammoths! Also, it's where God created man, according to the Chumash! I'd love an oak from there!Congrats on a 99.5% positive ID! Never heard of Shreve oak, so that's cool. It's fun to find a rare species. Last time I visited my local nursery, I spotted a little Island Oak alone in a forgotten corner. Still debating whether to go back and buy it. I've no idea if they make good bonsai, and I really don't need more trees right now, but I guess they're pretty rare. Maybe for Christmas.
