The only thing that keeps coming to mind is the liquidamber, which
was developed to provide fall color in the Bay Area. But I don't
think it meets your requirements! If no one else has sent you any
good ideas, I'd recommend going to a good independent nursery (e.g.
Yamagami's) that has been around the Sunnyvale/Cupertino area for
a long time and would certainly have some knowledgeable suggestions.
