91/365: Redheaded Tree

With this San Jose house, we inherited a garden. Which is the first ornamental garden I've ever had. In San Francisco, we have a deck, in Sonoma, I only have a vegetable garden. Especially in Sonoma, all my plantings have been with a concern to not allow invasive, non-native species. People in San Jose have no such fears. Everybody's little back yard features a U.N. of ornamental plants. I suspect this one isn't a California native. But I have no idea what it is. I call it The Redheaded Tree.
