Kapok is a natural fiber obtained from the seed pods of the kapok tree. It is a fluffy, cotton-like material that is often used as stuffing for pillows, mattresses, and life jackets due to its buoyancy and water-resistant qualities. Kapok is sustainable and biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic materials.
Kapok Fibre
when the kapok pops, its seeds go all over the place and then it will grow on a new kapok tree (i think =.=)
Many different species live on or around the kapok tree. Moss could potentially grow on the bark of a kapok tree, especially in humid environments. Snakes may also inhabit kapok trees to seek shelter or prey on animals that visit the tree.
The health hazards that exist for working with Kapok fibers are only hazardous when the Kapok is burned. The fibers could be toxic. Kapok fibers are hypoallergenic and usually harmless.
The Great Kapok Tree was created in 1990.
