Mr Pine Tree likes when widdle squirrels and widdle birdies use him to nest. He feels its part of his job to help widdle animals. He is a good tree. 😀

Has your Daddy sung to you lately?
 
Does your Daddy make use of the seeds from the Silk Floss Trees? 😀 😛

Would a silk floss tree grow here in Central Park or would it die over the winter?

Millie,

These trees would not grow in New York City. But I put a bunch of info on this type of tree, and as a team, I feel we can get pages of questions to ask from this. I had to research that kind of tree because they only grow in southern California. I hope you don't mind me putting info for myself here. This way, I can fill the pages with questions about this type of tree. 😀


With their fat, thorny trunks and branches, tropical-looking foliage, and exotic, hibiscus-like flowers, the floss-silk trees are among the most distinctive ornamental trees for regions where frosts are not severe. Formerly placed in their own genus, Chorisia (and still sold under that name), these showy South American members of the bombax family (Bombacaceae) are closely related to the tropical kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra) and have recently been reclassified within that genus. Like the kapok tree, floss-silk trees have palmate leaves with five-inch-long leaflets and are known for their large seed pods, which contain copious amounts of a cottony fiber that has been used as stuffing in pillows and as insulation in parkas and other cold-weather clothing. Successful in Sunset zones 12-24, they are at their absolute best in the warm, dry climates of Southern California, where they are popular in both public and private landscapes.
