Isn't competition fun? The scarlet and black oaks have sharp pointed lobes (bristle tips) the white oak has rounded lobes. If you like the tree, call a (tree) surgeon to clean it out and seal it with antifungals and stuff it with cement. If you can do it yourself do so. I have about one hundred acres in Illinois scattered with white oaks all with their hearts rotted out. They've been there for several hundred years. Jim Beam cut the best ones out 90 years ago. Whatever you do, protect yourself. You are probably liable for injury unless you have a written contract (a must) that protects you from vicarious liability. If the state has licensed contractor law, use a licensed contractor. Tree trimming is the most dangerous job according to workers compensation insurance rates. Unlicensed contractors here can do $2,000 or less work. They usually parcel big jobs. They are seldom insured, which means if that drop a tree on a roof, or lose a worker, the customer is responsible.
