Incorrect photograph of Emory Oak tree
I contribute financially to Wikipedia, but I do not have the skills to edit articles. On two occasions, I have asked for members who can edit articles to please make minor corrections when I found an error. This article on Emory Oaks has an error that should be corrected. I've lived in Oracle Arizona for 30+ years and am surrounded by Emory oaks and Arizona White oaks. The photograph of the leaves on this page is correct! The photo of the tree is not correct and is an Arizona White oak, Quercus arizonica. The darker green tree in the background appears to be an Emory oak. I know these trees inside and out because I've even turned their wood. Since I cannot post the link in this discussion box, please do an IMAGE search on Google for: Emory oak lamp Copper Area News Publishers The first NON-sponsored image is a lamp I turned from a dead Emory oak tree. Also, on the website for oracleartiststudiotour.org the background photograph is of the branches of the jail tree in Oracle Arizona, an Arizona white oak. The photo of an Arizona white oak (on its own page) is correct. But it is a less than ideal photo of a poor specimen obscured by Pine trees. This page could also benefit with a closeup of the leaves and the pale bark of the Arizona white oak. The photo of the Arizona white oak incorrectly posted on the Emory Oak page is a better photo of a better specimen of Quercus arizonica. Please see Oregon State University College of Agricultural Sciences - Department of Horticulture for their images of an Emory oak. Their images are much better. However, their image of an Arizona White oak tree is a poor photo of a poor specimen too! a 174.18.44.189 (talk) 10:22, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
