Default Name that tree....
Noticed this last fall and now again this year. There is a tree I've seen in Del Mar area and on first hole of Orange Blossom Hills....

It is a large, mature tree that, in the fall, gets a bunch a red/deep rose colored "leaves" that turn yellow then drop off. When in red/pink mode the tree is an explosion of color. These leaves are very fine, a little transparent, and almost heart shaped. It has green leaves during the summer. I'm not sure if it is totally deciduous in the winter.

Not a very good description, but, you arborists out there....what is the name of this tree?
