its not us that need the kapok tree its the animals in the tropical rain forest they all depend on that tree espesally the fruit bat
"i think ... that moss and some snakes do live with the kapok tree but toucans live on the kapok tree."
The Great Kapok Tree was created in 1990.
when the kapok pops, its seeds go all over the place and then it will grow on a new kapok tree (i think =.=)
A mature kapok tree may be 60 - 70 m.
Kapok Fibre
I don't think there's such a thing as a silk tree (rather there is one that is nick named silk tree but it doesn't exactly produce silk.) The fluffy 'Kapok' material comes from a Kapok tree.
seeeds of kapok tree are dispersed by wind
kapok trees are mainly found in tropical rainforests and grow to about 50-70meters. they need as much sun as they can get exactly 56 degrees every day.
The biggest plant in the Amazon rainforest is the Kapok Tree. The Kapok Tree can get as large as 200 feet tall.
Kapok is in the Baobab family, like Limon is in the Citrus family
The kapok tree does not have any significant predators. Its trunk has many large spines that protect the tree against predation.
The Kapok tree produces seeds with a silk type covering. This fiber is used commercially as pillow stuffing.
