Chorisia Speciosa (Silk Floss Tree) - Plant

Chorisia Speciosa, commonly known as the Silk Floss Tree. It is a striking ornamental tree admired for its unusual thorny trunk, lush green foliage, and beautiful pink to rose-colored flowers. Native to South America, particularly Brazil and Argentina. This tropical and subtropical tree is popular for landscaping and ornamental gardens. It is primarily an outdoor plant and grows best in a sunny location with plenty of space for healthy development.

One of its most distinctive features is its swollen, bottle-shaped trunk covered with sharp thorns, which gives the tree a unique sculptural appearance. During the flowering season, it produces attractive, hibiscus-like blooms that add vibrant color to the landscape. Chorisia Speciosa is an excellent choice for gardens, large landscapes, avenues, and feature planting where its unique trunk and seasonal flowers can be appreciated.
