> Pin oak is a red oak, but I don't know how much tannin it has.
===========
I really would like to know this. I planted two pin oaks near the sheep
paddock. Eventually, the acorns will fall in. A few years after I planted
the trees I heard about the toxicity. If anybody knows the toxicity of pin
oak acorns or if their sheep ate a lot and lived, please let me know. BTW,
tannins are also found in tree bark, sometimes sheep gnaw on this. A plant
called wormwood also is considered a natural dewormer.

Mostly conifers (evergreens) around here, we plant many hardwoods
