In the Garden with Dewey: The Kapok Tree (Ceiba pentandra)
Join St George Village Botanical Garden’s Executive Director, Dewey Hollister, to learn more about the Kapok Tree (Ceiba pentandra) and find out why it is also known as the “Silk Cotton Tree“. This amazing tree can grow up to 200 feet tall in parts of the Amazon and has important cultural aspects to the peoples of the Caribbean and South America.
========================================================
Located on St Croix in the United States Virgin Islands, the St. George Village Botanical Garden is a 16- acre garden situated among the buildings and ruins of an 18th and 19th-century sugar cane plantation. This site overlaps an Amerindian settlement which dates back to A.D.
The Garden’s botanical collections feature over 1,000 varieties of plants that demonstrate the horticultural potential for the U.S. Virgin Islands and emphasize the cultural and historical value of plants as a source of food, medicine, fiber, color dyes, and building material in the Caribbean.
