Thank you all for the replies. I spent 20 years in the mountains above the Napa Valley before moving here to the North end of the Sacramento Valley 9 months ago. It's a whole different world here, different soil, weather, lots of new plants and animals. Thanks again for the help, Mark

I'm thinking that's it. The tree pics at the site you posted look very close. I searched Golden rain tree and found many that are a good match. I thank you all for your efforts.
