RE: Tristaniopsis laurina

Dear Joe and Jason,
 
I will have to look out for the cultivar 'Elegant' - it sounds intriguing - is the red growth similar to photinia?  I see there is a picture on Sierra Azul's web site but it's difficult to make out the new leaves.  One of the plants I put in this spring is a bronze variety loquat which has a copper color to its new leaves.  Having plants with different colored new growth makes the garden much more interesting.
 
Does anyone recall if Tristaniopsis is one of the trees planted on some downtown streets in Martinez?  I seem to remember visiting there some time ago and seeing a tree I didn't recognize, but I can't recall exactly what the trees look like now - perhaps they were melaleuca?  I will have to start carrying my camera and taking more pictures.
 
I am having such great fun discovering a whole new plant palette now that I am living in a warmer climate zone.
 
Thanks to you both.
