Ceiba Pentandra
Also known as: Kapok, Java cotton, silk cotton, samauma

Here is a deciduous tree that has the potential to become extremely large, reaching a height of over 200 feet, but more on an average of 30-100 feet. The straight, cylindrical bole can be 40-120 inches in diameter, is usually spiny, and have massive attractive buttresses.
It is native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, northern South America, and tropical west Africa. A very sacred, multipurpose tree with a wide range of uses for the local population. It is especially valued for its silky cotton fiber that is produced within its fruit, but also supplies foods, medicines and many other commodities. It has become naturalized in many other parts of the tropical world as an amazing ornamental and often grown as a bonsai.

The creamy white to pink flowers are an important source of nectar and pollen for honey bees. Its wood is lightweight and porous which is good for making carvings, coffins and dugout canoes. The silky fibers that disperse the seeds are too small for weaving but make great stuffing for bedding, cushions, plush animals and life preservers. Prolonged exposure to harvesting these fibers can cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat.
The bark decoction has been used as a diuretic, aphrodisiac, and to treat headache, as well as type II diabetes. It is used as an additive in some versions of the psychedelic drink Ayahuasca.

The seeds produce a vegetable oil that resembles cottonseed oil, and is also used in soap and fertilizers. It does have some potential as a biofuel and in paint preparation. The seeds, and the oil, do contain cyclopropenoid fatty acids which cause abnormal physiological reactions in animals. Therefore the consumption of kapok seeds or seed oil should be discouraged unless the cyclopropenoid acids have been chemically removed.
It is intolerant of frost. Best sited in moist well drained soils in full sun. Water needs vary during the year. Trees appreciate abundant moisture during their vegetative period, but prefer much less moisture in winter during the dry season (December – February in southern Florida) when trees have lost most of their leaves or are deciduous. Flowers typically begin blooming in February near the end of the dry season, followed by fruiting. New foliage typically begins to appear shortly after flowering. USDA zone 10-12

**This is not to be confused with the RED silk cotton Kapok tree, that is from the genus Bombax, species ceiba. Both are from the family Malvaceae. We also offer the seeds to Bombax ceiba (Red silk cotton) here in our store.

This offer is for 15 seeds.

Comfortable wrist rest for intense use
Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Mechanical & Gaming, Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Mechanical & Gaming
- You don't have to own a mechanical keyboard to grab one of these bad boys. It's suitable for any full size keyboard. - This is ergonomic and really targeting gamers. The left side of the wrist rest offers more cushion for those wasd key strokes. While the right side is much smaller vs other wrist rests Kensington offers so it won't take too much desk space. So it's quite office friendly. - Huge value for money. About $7 bucks cheaper vs the standard keyboard. - Vegan leather exterior. This is the one thing that made me buy the wrist rest. As you can see from my picture, my old wrist rest is made of fabric material. They easily build up slime and all that yuckiness when you type for long period of time. It's so hard to clean up. The leather material is just one wipe away. - Super soft and comfortable. My old wrist rest is hardened memory foam. It's not deformed after years or using, which I appreciate. But it doesn't provide much comfort vs this gel pad wrist rest. I'm so happy I made the switch and bought this. - For whoever said this is stiff or firm for their taste, they obviously haven't used other memory foam wrist rests before. So if you want soft, but not too squishy wrist rest, look expensive for office use, or survive abuse for home use, look no further.

Great except for the bottom
Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Slim
Kensington stuff is always good. I’ve been using it for over two decades. This wrist rest seemed like the best choice for my Apple Magic Keyboard. And it probably is. My complaint is the bottom. It’s made with the assumption you want it in a fixed location on your desk, so the underside is sticky. On the other hand, if you don’t want to leave it stationary, the white backing paper is too slippery. I’d have MUCH preferred a textured rubber underside that helps it stay in place than this. Also, it’s really really black. If you have dandruff, you’re going to notice it falling on here.

Desk Hoteling: Portable Comfort
Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Slim & Compact
New to the desk hoteling scene, I’ve had to find easily transportable ways to increase my comfort level. This has survived multiple backpack edits, which says a ton about this little wrist rest. I love that it is not cloth so I can wipe it down at the end of the day, but it doesn’t stick to your skin. It is the perfect size and thickness for my use. It wasn’t cheap, but it is holding up very well even with the constant travel. This is worth the extra bulk in the laptop backpack.

Quality Product, Definitely Recommend
Size: 17.2"L x 3.15"W x 0.78"H, Color: Black Walnut, Size: 17.2"L x 3.15"W x 0.78"H, Color: Black Walnut
Looks and feels great. Amazingly smooth, and well-crafted. It fits the length of my keyboard, and has quality grippers on the base to prevent sliding. Was actually really pleased with it.

High quality solid wood rest
Size: 14.4"L x 3.15"W x 0.78"H, Color: Black Walnut
This wrist rest is nicely finished and was well packed in high-density foam as well as a cardboard box that was wrapped very tightly in thick plastic. It's sanded very, very smooth and is made of beautiful solid walnut, with nonskid pads on the back. The branding is on the side that touches the keyboard, so it is not visible or obtrusive at all. My keyboard is 15.5 inches long, and the 14.4 inch rest looks great up against it. The 0.78" thickness is also very suitable for the thickness of my keyboard. The product gets 5 stars because it is accurately represented and this is entirely down to personal preference, but something about this rest that I don't love is the degree of incline. I have my keyboard up on the kickstands, and the wrist rest that I already owned slopes pretty dramatically starting from the middle, so it follows the angle of the keyboard. The ZQL wrist rest is about 75% flat and then has a small slope that rounds off on the bottom edge. Again, this is very much a personal thing; I just brought it up because it's something that people might not think too much about until they actually use it. I think this rest would be great for anyone with very large hands, or with a flat keyboard. It's taking a little getting used to for me, but I really enjoy the smoothness and obvious quality of the wood. A wrist rest is an ergonomic must when it comes to thicker keyboards.
