Ceiba PentandraAlso 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.

Ample
Good size and carrying options (strap, crossbody). Adequate compartments and hardware. I like the relatively neutral "green" color (there are 3 other options). All color options share the strap pattern; I find it OK but would prefer if the strap were the same color (solid) as the bag itself.

Love the vibrant straps, a cute everyday bag!
This shoulder handbag is a good value for the cost. Made of good quality materials. I especially like the silver rings for attaching the longer strap, and the silky material of the straps themselves is also nice. Inside there are several zippered pockets for your keys, pens, and other items. There is also a pocket for your cellphone. I use this bag for carrying my laptop back and forth to work, and I always feel very stylish when I am wearing it. The size is perfect for carrying a laptop or notebooks and books back and forth or for carrying on luggage on a plane. My one small complaint is the length of the sewn on straps is just slightly too short. I sometimes have to bend my arms more extremely to get them through the longer, sewn-on shoulder strap.

Heavy duty, thick tote bag.
This is a pretty heavy duty canvas bag. It’s a little smaller than it looked in the ad, but it does seem very strong and put together and I think it is waterproof or water resistant so that’s useful. I can definitely see this for shopping or just like out running errands, it’s got two sets of straps are nice. You can wear it multiple ways. The quality is pretty good. Better than a lot of the bags that I’ve been getting these through Amazon.

Pretty nice little bag
Color: Black
Wasn’t sure if I would like the size of the bag as I was planning on using it as my everyday purse. Pleasantly surprised by how much can fit in it. Definitely good for travel as it will hold what you need. I would only say that the strap would benefit from having a wire in it to prevent people from just cutting it off. Other than that, it is a nice looking bag. Good size. Seems to be well put together and sturdy. Note if you are on the bigger size, the strap might not fit around you. I do have to have it fully extended to fit properly. But it is comfortable to wear and the wide strap doesn’t put too much pressure on my shoulder.
I would buy again or at least from the same brand.

Can’t beat this purse/ bag
Color: Green
Nice, light weight and plenty of room for lots of stuff actually. Love the built-in card holders very convenient, durable, the locking features with the zippers, genius idea,and the green is so pretty if you’re looking for a smaller bag and everyday smaller bag that can hold all your crap (face it ladies we carry a lot of crap) this purse is absolutely beautiful and perfect. I’m actually thinking about getting one for all my work stuff instead of my backpack.
