This is not the true kapok tree that was used to make life preservers, but still has the very large spines and beautiful flowers. The kapok tree was planted last spring 1999. Otatea acuminata aztecorum (Mexican Weeping Bamboo) and a Washingtonia filifebusta (W. filifera x W. robusta) in the back ground. Image taken March 1, 2000.
