Default Re: Which tree is this ?

Maybe a Brachychiton populneus or something in the family. I think they are desert-like trees and are cold tolerant to 25F so they definitely fit the climate that San Diego is in. I dont think Brachychiton populneus loses their leaves, but Brachychiton australis does and it looks like that might be the tree in your pic. The seed pods also look similar.
