Ceanothus as tree replacement

I'm looking to replace some existing trees on my property with a fast growing native. I have several jacarandas and mimosa trees that may have died when I shut off summer water. Irrigation had a huge leak that I couldn't attend to after we moved in late July 2024.

I was thinking of Ray Hartman or the straight species of C.arboreus.

I like multi trunks and sort of wide spreading and I've seen that those can do that.

Thoughts?
