Kapok Tree | Friday Jan 30, 2009
A Kapok Tree (Ceiba pentandra) in Key West, Florida. The kapok was the sacred tree of the Mayan people who believed the souls of the dead climbed a mythical kapok where the branches would reach into Heaven. As depicted here, these trees are known for their wide buttresses at the base. Also called the Ceiba tree or Silkcotton tree, and grow to 40 meters (130 ft.) or more.
