Ceiba pentandra (species) (Ceiba (genus), Malvaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Species of large tropical tree native to the New World and Africa, was transported to Asia. It is now grown primarily in Java, Africa, Brazil, India, and Central America. The soft fibers covering the seeds are used for stuffing. Seeds may be processed to obtain oil for making soap, and the residue is used as fertilizer and cattle feed. The wood does not hold screws or nails well, but the timber is used for paper and other products. Local peoples have long used kapok logs for carving into canoes.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Grote tropische boomsoort die inheems is in Amerika en Afrika en naar Azië is vervoerd. Tegenwoordig wordt de boom voornamelijk gekweekt in Afrika, Brazilië, India en Midden-Amerika en op Java. De zachte vezels die de zaden bedekken gebruikt men als vulmateriaal. Uit de zaden kan olie worden gewonnen waarmee men zeep maakt. Het residu gebruikt men als meststof en veevoer. In het hout blijven spijkers en schroeven niet goed vastzitten, maar men gebruikt het voor papier en andere producten. Lokale volkeren gebruiken de stam van de kapokboom al sinds lange tijd voor het uithakken van kano's. |
