I'll have to take a better photo of a larger tree...this pic doesn't do it justice.
This tree has very beautiful new leaves and dark orange fruit that split and have black seeds. This tree isn't too widely grown outside of Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo. I'm not sure why this is, though. I've also seen some nice big trees at Disneyland.
