Hi,
Does anyone have seed of this lovely tree or/and experience of growing this?
Mike
Chorisia speciosa (Ceiba speciosa)
Knock knock?
Who's there? Mike? I don't have one. There is some info in the PF..... Wow, can't believe your post went unanswered.
Yeah i think there great. Can't buy plants here.
Looks like noone has seeds. I think because there a bit boring in there own country!
Mike
Seems like I saw seed for them somewhere, a while ago.... Maybe Thompson Morgan? Or Jung seed company....... You've probably tried there..
Heya Mike,
Found someone selling them on Ebay, worldwide, from India...

I have one but I'm not positive if it's this one or the Kapok. The leaves looks similar on both. Here is the link to the pictures. It is now about 6-7 ft tall and will be planted when the weather cools down.

Cheers Sunny,
I have a thing against Ebay. I long for the day when its closed down! Call me odd but its the way i am!
Budgie lover. That looks like its the one i'm looking for. The one i want has spines on the trunk when it's older.
Aunt B i didn't see them on either of those for sale. I have an account with T&M so use them alot. But i'll search again.
Still hoping some one will have some and swap for them.
Thanks
Mike
I wish I could remember where I got it. I only got a few and this was the only one to germinate. It doesn't have thorns yet but there are spots that look like they may develop them later on. It will probably cover my whole front yard some day.
Re Bump....
Please anyone with seeds available to swap. Give me a shout.
Thanks
Mike
