Found planted in an urban setting in western Riverside County in California.

It is a tall, woody perennial shrub(/tree) with dense clusters of elongate lanceolate leaves, terminating in a woolly bud cluster.

slightly resembles chilopsis linearis, but perhaps the ID will be better after those bud open..

It does resemble Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis)

Fantastic !
Chilopsis linearis looks like a good match.
The California subspecies native to our deserts has more linear leaves, but as this specimen was planted it could well be another subspecies, or one of the cultivars.
