The Kapok Tree
Key West, Florida
This is a very unique tree that is sacred to the Mayan people. They can grow to hights of 130 feet, if not more, and can increase in hight by 10 feet in a single year. But look at those ROOTS! I'm in love!
Ceiba pentandra
The Ceiba pentandra is also known as the Kapok Tree.
The Kapok Tree has an adaptation involving the white and pink flowers that bloom on the tree that releases an odor attracting bats, resulting in a facilitation of pollination.
The Kapok Tree can reach up to 230 feet in height, while the diameter of the trunk can reach up to 9-10 feet. The tree can grow 13 feet per year.

2. The neotropical giant - The Kapoktree or 'Ceiba pentandra' is a tropical tree that belongs to the Malvaceae family, meaning the Hibiscus genus is a close relation. This tree is native to Mexico, Central America and the Carribean, northern South America, and tropical West Africa.
The Kapoktree's main pollinator is bats. The flying mammals are attracted to the foul odor emmited by the pink and white flowers. As the mammals move from flower to flower feasting on the nectar, they transfer pollen on their fur, thus facilitating pollination.
The ancient Maya believed that the Kapok tree was the link between heaven and earth - its branches were pathways for the soul to ascend to the spiritual world.
UndyingTales Day 11: Kapok tree.
Ancient Mayans saw it as the tree of life. It's roots twisting down to the underworld, the world at its centre where it is host to birds and insects and it's crown in the celestial realm where the eagles live.
