Chorisia sceciosa/palo borracho
Ceiba speciosa is a species of deciduous tree native to the tropical and subtropical forests of South America. Sometimes reaches more than 25 m (82 ft) in height. Its trunk is bottle-shaped, generally bulging in its lower third. The trunk is also studded with thick, sharp conical prickles which deter wild animals from climbing the trees. In younger trees, the trunk is green due to its high chlorophyll content, which makes it capable of performing photosynthesis when leaves are absent; with age it turns to gray.
