Good Day to All,
Leslie,

I have grown both the Silk Cotton and the Sandbox.
Easy to grow.

They don't branch much and I prefer trees with at
least 6 branches/18 branchlets.
Anything else you needed to know ?

Has anyone in the tropics had any experience with these trees

Silk Cotton: Ceiba Pentandra ( or Ceiba casearia, Eriodendron anfractuosum
or Bombax Ceiba)

Sandbox: Hura crepitans

I realise that these will be quite obscure to 99.999999999999999% of you
who
are subscribed to this group but you never know what a shot in the dark
will
hit.

Thanks Khaimraj,

You probably grew them from seed I know, but how tolerant were they of rough
treatment in a bonsai pot?
