Planning for Fall Color

Our Southwest region is pretty diverse, and generally not known for colorful fall foliage. What can you count on in your area to brighten the fall/early winter landscape?

The tree that always gets my attention in the Sonoran desert region is the hybrid Pistache tree called 'Red Push'. It blazes in red for many weeks between November and January, depending on the planting site. I have also see a number of oaks that surprise me with their red/orange/russet colors.
