Paulownia.

Bloom color is a good clue too. Because you can see better than a photo can ever be you would still need to confirm the id. For example when I guess Royal Poinciana you could say what fit (leaf, pod, bark) and/or what didn't because you can view lots of photos and info online and check those against what you see. I'm guessing just on what I think the leaves look like and the seed pods...but for all I know the seed pods I'm seeing aren't even on the tree or I'm looking at the wrong tree, etc. Hopefully others will have better guesses you can track down. I wouldn't let Sunset throw you off. I threw out my Western Garden Book when I moved to Phoenix, it just didn't apply imo. I have 4 zones in my one yard. When trying to id a plant there are all the common plants you see over and over. Then there are the plants you almost never see but can be grown here by either a good gardener or someone just getting lucky and planting in just the right spot with just the right amount of water and frost protection.

Check out the Lars Anderson Bonsai Collection describing Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Chabo-hiba' in octopus style at the Arnold Arboretum. Here is a link that might be useful: Arnold Arboretum hinoki

I can verify that is Pittosporum in seed.
