Description

Silk Cotton Tree is a fast-growing Indian cotton tree. The tree can reach a height of about 2 to 3 meters and a height of 30 m during its lifetime. It grows large red flowers by itself. Usually, from January to March, the plant produces such beautiful red flowers. For the particular three months from January to March, all the terrain in these trees is enchanting red.

Each fruit of this tree, which matures in March and April, can be as large as a ping-pong ball. Silk cotton is fiber-like, like ordinary cotton. The larvae of some Lepidoptera species use these Bombax species as special feeding plants, including the leaf-miner Bucculatrix Crateracma which feeds exclusively on Bombax ceiba.
