Oak ID wanted

I grew this from seed many years ago. The acorn was found lying on a lawn at the Botanic Gardens. The new shoots are very white and felty. So much so that they almost look diseased! As they mature they start to lose some of the down but still have some on them now as you can see. It looks like a dry climate species to me but not sure. Google is no help.
Anyone have a clue?

Spoke too soon. I think it's Q. pubescens.

Cool tree Mike!

I really like Oak as Bonsai.
Larger specimens work pretty well - they are such an iconic tree.
