Siska, I became instantly so interested that I just ordered 150 Kapok tree seeds from eBay. Ten bucks. The seeds are coming from Indonesia. Maybe I'll have to water the trees (if the seeds germinate) a lot in the desert? "Rainforest tree" sounds as if it expects to get a lot to drink; we have about 8-12 inches of rain in a YEAR, here. Of course, I can and do irrigate. Sometimes it's so dry, I even have to water the cacti: I have several Saguaro, and Prickly Pear, and Old Man cactus. I have many exotic and native trees on the property. And Roses. They do well! Growing in a Blast-furnace. --Joe > siska_cen@... wrote: > > Hi Joe, > > I think Kapok tree is a tropical rainforest tree.
