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?

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.

Gracie,


Darn you....I shoulda known better. Gotcha and not even April Fools.

OK, guess I'm gullible. But anyway, I looked up globe willow and although that could be right, none of the web pictures I could find matched well.

Back to the Bubbletree for me where the sun shines and nothing bad is allowed to happen.

That is a very good name indeed

But someone, John N? will find the real name. I will go with Bertha, until that happens.

Hi Villages07, I think maybe that is a golden rain tree. If you go to keyword and type in golden rain tree you will get info and pictures.

graciegirl, are you calling me an arborist? take that back LOLOL

I'm not that good, I'd have to see it and research it, and I'm not there!!

But I'll keep tuned, we'll figure it out

My advice, take a branch on over to Jim Davis at the Fla. Extension Office on 466

Default Golden raintree?
It may be a golden raintree (koelreuteria paniculata). The flowers are yellow; pods are rose colored.

Here's a link with a picture:

Juneroses? We haven't met, but your name is apt for sure. That is a lovely tree and it sure sounds like the one Village07 was describing. What do you think 07? John N? I am glad it isn't a Pan tree or a Circuit tree. or a Belfry.

You nailed it...that is the tree. It is gorgeous when the red pods come out. Thanks for the picture/link...that showed it perfectly. Thanks for providing the answer.

Fumar...no carnivorous vulgaris allowed on TOTV. Only humanis happyis.
