Silk Floss Tree
Trunk of Silk Floss tree in a large pot in my garden. I would put it in the ground but I don't know where. It needs more sun but needs cold protection also. Sept. 2013.
Chorisia speciosa Native to Tropical America, the tree was once a source for kapok used for padding or stuffing.Related to Kapok Tree Ceiba
Chorisia speciosa has since been re-classified to the present Ceiba speciosa. The Family has since been re-classified from Bombacaceae to Malvaceae
