Silk Floss Tree - Ceiba speciosa (400mm & yellow flower)
Spectacular and very unique tree that is not easy to come by. The exceptionally unique feature of this tree are the prickles that grow along the trunk (just like a rose has). It's a deciduous tree with a spreading canopy. Flowers appear in autumn. Silk Floss trees more 'commonly' have a pink flower, but this tree has a yellow flower. Quite a fast growing tree. Mature height to about 12-15m. Prefers full sun. Originates from sub-tropical regions of South America. Tree is currently standing
