Ceiba Pentandra
Also 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.

Continues to exceed expectations
Number of Items: 1
This product blew me away. I was on the skeptical side after reading some of the negative reviews, but I have never had any issues. The charger is very fast and charged my phone in 2 hours from <5%. That's faster than some of my corded chargers. The cord and charger are of very high quality and even withstood my cat biting at it. Unfortunately, it does not include a charging block/usb wall adapter, but as long as you use a block/wall adapter that can support the charger (I used a Samsung fast charging block), it works great. The product will even blink if you are using an incompatible block. The rubber on the bottom of the charger prevents it from sliding around, and the overall appearance is slick and great. The product took less than 1 minute for me to set up and is very easy to use. Overall, it's an amazing product for an amazing price. Regarding some of the negative reviews; I see lots complaining about how hot the product gets. My block and the charger itself did get warm after extended periods of charging, however, there are safeguards that will pause charging if either get too hot. It hasn't gotten hot enough to be worrisome or even activate the safeguards, so I am not concerned about it at all.

Bought for my grandmother
Number of Items: 1
Great--works perfectly with my grandmother's smartphone! Makes her life easier: when she goes to bed she just places the phone down on the pad and it starts charging. She's 95, and while I'm constantly impressed by her ability to adapt to technology, I still try to make it as simple as possible for her, and this makes her life better. It is also convenient to have at my grandmother's house as a back up for the rest of the family--we have mixed Apple and Android users, and this works for both. If someone is running low on battery and forgot their charger, this is helpful to have! Worth noting, my uncle and cousin used it to charge their phones and claim it is slower than with their native cord plugged in--I haven't done a comparison test or noticed any difference myself, but I don't doubt that the wireless charging technology is slower than the wired (but I wouldn't assume this is a problem withe the specific charger, but rather the charging technology). For my grandmother, this makes no difference, but it could for others.

Good product for value
Number of Items: 1
This charger works great especially for older phones that have issues with chorded charging. It’s easy to take along. The price is right for what you get. It does take a while to charge your phone. Also if you have a bulky case or a pop socket you have to remove the cover before using.

No more bending plug-in charger
Number of Items: 1
Nice wireless charger easy to set up and place on table next to gaming console place phone on top and let it charge. Easy to pick up phone and use as needed. Unlike attached to A charging wire easy way to raise battery in a short time as needed the best part is coming home setting and charger. To grab some more battery life and an hour later pick it up if I go again.
