The kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra) is a towering, majestic tree native to tropical rainforests in Central and South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. It can grow up to 200 feet tall, with a massive, straight trunk and a wide, umbrella-shaped canopy. The kapok tree plays a vital ecological role, providing shelter and food for countless species. Its seed pods contain fluffy, cotton-like fibers often used for stuffing pillows and mattresses. Considered sacred in many cultures, the kapok tree is a symbol of life and connection in the rainforest ecosystem.
