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.

Fire Resistant Maybe, Not Fireproof
This small passport holder/bag from Ready Now Bags is quite unusual, it claims to be fireproof! We tested it with a lighter flame and the 'fireproof' claim initially seemed to hold up: a few seconds of direct flame on one spot had no effect on the main outside material of the bag or on the zipper material. It did cause the [nylon?] fabric running across the top of the outside pocket to start melting, and presumably the tag would also melt (as another reviewer found).
My wife didn't like the bag anyway, so we decided to try a more rigorous test (initially I was hesitant, because I didn't want to ruin the bag). We put a spot in the middle of the back side of the bag in a direct candle flame for 30 seconds. It did not melt or catch fire and was only a bit degraded in appearance after the soot was scrubbed off. The inside of the bag in the area where the flame had been was hot, but not too hot to touch.
We repeated the 30 second candle flame test on a corner of the bag. This time the corner of the bag caught fire after about 20 seconds (specifically, the piping material around the edge), and the fabric part of the zipper melted all the way through.
I haven't tried lighting other hand bags on fire, so I'm not sure how an average one would compare, but I think 'fireproof' is too much of a claim, it may be fair to say this bag is 'fire resistant'.
The material is neat and I would say attractive.
Note that the bag is pretty thin [8.9in x 4.8 in x 0.7in], which is perfect for some purposes but you can't cram a lot of stuff into it.
I don't know whether the RFID block works, but it doesn't seem to impede a cellphone signal at all when a cellphone is placed inside the bag (tested before fire tests).
The construction quality of the bag is just okay, it's a little bit uneven/wrinkled around the edges; this material is probably difficult to work with. No functional problems, though. The pockets and slots for organizing on the inside of the bag are nice.
The loop on the back that the hand strap is attached to is pretty thick and seems robust, you could attach a longer strap for shoulder or neck carry if desired.
If the bag was only advertised as 'fire resistant' I would give it a higher score, but it is advertised as 'fireproof' which is quite an overclaim.
