The floss silk tree (Ceiba speciosa) has adapted well to San Diego's climate through its drought-resistant features, such as a thick, water-storing trunk and a deciduous nature that allows it to conserve water during dry periods. Its large, spiky pods protect the seeds from herbivores, while its vibrant flowers attract pollinators, enhancing its reproductive success. Additionally, the tree's ability to thrive in poor soil conditions makes it suitable for urban environments.
