The two different trees are intertwined - if you follow the oak branch back it will lead to a separate tree.

Nope, same branches, two very different leaves.

Sorry Patterson, not possible.

I bet theybare different branches. Tag it with bread tie and come back in a few weeks when the leaves are out of the way

you need to hire an arborist

Branch in second shot is that of an oak tree.

they could have inosculated naturally - approach grafting.

either the maple swallowed the oak or the maple has some sort of mutation that makes it produce leaves that resemble pin oaks

I'd like to see better pictures. Follow the branches back.

Show me where they originate from one.

I'm not taking your word for it.

What you are saying is not possible.

Whenever I find stuff like that.....I leave it be, such a wonder of nature is it. ;^)

How does the texture of the leaves feel?
