Thanks Jared! I’ll add a note about that. I’m not an expert on trees, so that’s helpful. Sure, maybe we’ll see you around! Regards

Of course similar in appearance to kapok so not a bad guess! The locals aren’t really sure what it is either. What’s important is how majestic it is. Took some great photos on a visit last year.

Nice site and photos, keep up the good work! I live in Bali as well, maybe I’ll see you around sometime.

Cheers!
