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?
I am a HUGE authority on trees, some people even call me a know it all, but not to my face. This tree is either a Pantree, (Note next time you golf if it has baked beans and other cans on the lower branches) OR a Circuitree, in that case, after it loses it's leaves, it will light up.
