Parkinsonia microphylla, the yellow palo verde or foothill palo verde tree, also known as Cercidium microphyllum. Sometimes it is called simply paloverde.
This tree is becoming very popular as a street tree here in north Fullerton, presumably for its drought-tolerance, as well as its cheerful yellow flowers. The leaves are curiously like pine needles. This particular tree is growing on a bare patch in a micro-park, and carpets the ground beneath it with the blossoms in spring.
