From the Barbara Collins Arboretum on the campus of California Lutheran University.
Yes we do have fall colors!!! One of the favorites is sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), native to eastern United States. Look around the campus and you will see quite a few of these trees with the foliage just beginning to turn red. You may also note the little spiny balls hanging on the tree. Another tree with beautiful fall colors is the Chinese pistache (Pistacia chinensis). There are a few young Chinese pistache west of the Gilbert Sports Facility, but better examples can be found northwest of Mogen Hall. The trees here are quite tall, and the leaves are just now beginning to turn red.
