Description
The Chorisia Tree, also known as the Silk Floss Tree, is a striking ornamental tree native to South America.
With its unique bottle-shaped trunk and vibrant pink or white flowers, the Chorisia tree is a favorite in landscape design, adding beauty and texture to gardens, parks, and urban spaces.
Its green, spiny bark gives way to a smooth, thick base as the tree matures, while its large, showy flowers bloom in late summer to fall, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
This deciduous tree can reach up to 30-60 feet in height, with a broad canopy that provides ample shade.
It is drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for warmer climates. In addition to its ornamental appeal, the Chorisia tree also produces seed pods filled with a cotton-like fiber, similar to silk, historically used for stuffing cushions and pillows.
