Chorisia (Ceiba)
Floss Silk Tree
The silk floss tree is native to Brazil and Argentina but it grows well in southern California1. Pale green leaves divide into 5-7 pointed leaflets and the trunk is covered with triangular spines and turns gray as the tree gets older. Silk floss trees are green all year and typically drop their leaves in autumn to show off a beautiful pink display (as seen to the right).
The flower has five petals and is pale pink to rose or purple. Flowers are followed by pear shaped capsules filled with seeds embedded in a silky white floss.
If planting this tree...
Requires full sun, well-drained soil. Mulch the root zone as this tree does not do well directly in turf or dense groundcover.
