Description

Kapok (Silk Cotton Tree), Ceiba pentandra, 960 Seeds (Fast, Tropical)The Kapok tree is a majestic tree of tropical rainforests. It can grow to a height of 200 feet (sometimes growing as much as 13 feet per year), towering over other trees in the rainforest with many plants and animals living in the branches. The straight trunks are cylindrical, smooth and gray in color. Trunks can reach a diameter of 9 feet. Large spines protrude from the trunk to protect the young trees against animals. When the Kapok gets large enough it stops producing the spines and the original ones gradually wear away. A buttressed root system effectively supports the kapok.
