I bet you didn't know that a black oak is a type of red oak.

There is a Southern red oak:

There is a Northern red oak:

It is very difficult to tell black oaks from red oaks, and the best way to do it is to look at the acorns, black oak acorns are nearly half covered with feathery-scaled cups, while red oak acorns are flat, with tight reddish scales. Red oak acorns take two years to develop, white oak acorns develop in a year.

It's a really nice tree, I am going to leave it alone for now, will research treatments for the fungus.
