This is in Orange County (Southern California). I tried to also take a
photo of the entire tree but there is another different type of tree in
front of it blocking the view so I could just take a photo of the top
portion. It's pretty tall, perhaps 20-30 feet tall.

Do the leaves have a strong smell?
does it have white sap?
describe the flowers - they may not be conspicuous
if you have a scanner scan a branch and post it/
