Ceiba Pentandra
Also known as: Kapok, Java cotton, silk cotton, samauma

Here is a deciduous tree that has the potential to become extremely large, reaching a height of over 200 feet, but more on an average of 30-100 feet. The straight, cylindrical bole can be 40-120 inches in diameter, is usually spiny, and have massive attractive buttresses.
It is native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, northern South America, and tropical west Africa. A very sacred, multipurpose tree with a wide range of uses for the local population. It is especially valued for its silky cotton fiber that is produced within its fruit, but also supplies foods, medicines and many other commodities. It has become naturalized in many other parts of the tropical world as an amazing ornamental and often grown as a bonsai.

The creamy white to pink flowers are an important source of nectar and pollen for honey bees. Its wood is lightweight and porous which is good for making carvings, coffins and dugout canoes. The silky fibers that disperse the seeds are too small for weaving but make great stuffing for bedding, cushions, plush animals and life preservers. Prolonged exposure to harvesting these fibers can cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat.
The bark decoction has been used as a diuretic, aphrodisiac, and to treat headache, as well as type II diabetes. It is used as an additive in some versions of the psychedelic drink Ayahuasca.

The seeds produce a vegetable oil that resembles cottonseed oil, and is also used in soap and fertilizers. It does have some potential as a biofuel and in paint preparation. The seeds, and the oil, do contain cyclopropenoid fatty acids which cause abnormal physiological reactions in animals. Therefore the consumption of kapok seeds or seed oil should be discouraged unless the cyclopropenoid acids have been chemically removed.
It is intolerant of frost. Best sited in moist well drained soils in full sun. Water needs vary during the year. Trees appreciate abundant moisture during their vegetative period, but prefer much less moisture in winter during the dry season (December – February in southern Florida) when trees have lost most of their leaves or are deciduous. Flowers typically begin blooming in February near the end of the dry season, followed by fruiting. New foliage typically begins to appear shortly after flowering. USDA zone 10-12

**This is not to be confused with the RED silk cotton Kapok tree, that is from the genus Bombax, species ceiba. Both are from the family Malvaceae. We also offer the seeds to Bombax ceiba (Red silk cotton) here in our store.

This offer is for 15 seeds.

Dog lives it

Good solid dog toy. Dog loves it. Dog doesn't chew though it. Just don't step on it, it hurts with bare feet.

No Appeal
Flavor Name: Variety Flavored, Size: 20-70Lbs
6 Golden Retriever household and purchased these hoping they would like them. Unfortunately they do not. They do not seem to have much scent or appeal and went to the bottom of the basket. On the plus side, the seller reached out and offered an appreciated refund. Raised 1 star for response and responsibility.

Dog uninterested
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: 20-70Lbs
My dog is a huge chewer and is constantly chewing on all sorts of different bones I've gotten her over time. This is the only one I've ever gotten that she refuses to touch, even when repeatedly offered it while I attempt to hype it up. She has a reachable toy bin where I store half her toys, and she pulls things out as wanted, and I swap out the toys in there when she seems to get bored. I left this bone in there for 4 months just to see if she would ever come around to it, but nope. Nothing.

My Dog Hasn't Destroyed Yet But Trying
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 20-70Lbs
My large 85-pound dog has chewed-up and destroyed just about every toy I've purchased for him over the past 3 years all within a week of purchase-- this one has lasted intact (although showing signs of wear) loner than most. Overall, I recommend.
