Default ID This Cotton-like Seed from a large tree

"Bob Williams" wrote
I saw this tree in Santa Barbara CA.
It was spewing seeds with cotton-like bolls attached.
The tree was quite large... about 30 feet tall.
I figured it must be a Cottonwood tree, but the leaves did not look
anything like the leaves of cottonwood trees on Google images.
What could it be? ..............Bob Williams


Kapok?
