🗿 Center of the world tree that stops traffic in Florida - now fits in a pot

🎥 Ceiba Dwarf Pink Princess
  • 🌸 If you’ve ever visited Florida in winter, you’ve probably seen those unbelievable pink trees in full bloom - that’s a Ceiba (Chorisia) speciosa, also known as the Kapok or Pink Silk Floss tree, famous for its hibiscus-like flowers and fluffy silk pods.
  • 🌸 The problem? The classic Ceiba can grow 40 feet tall.

    • This one doesn’t! Ceiba hybrid Dwarf Pink Princess stays compact - about 8-12 feet in the ground and even smaller in a pot.
    And unlike seed-grown trees, this one blooms right away because it’s grafted! No long wait.
  • 🌸 In winter, it drops most of its leaves and explodes into thousands of soft pink flowers. Same wow factor. Just a fraction of the size.

    • Perfect for small yards, patios, balconies, or anyone who wants a show-stopping winter tree without committing to a giant.
  • 🌸 #Fun_facts: the ancient Maya believed the Ceiba was the sacred tree at the center of the world, connecting earth to the sky.
  • 🌸 So yes… You can officially say you’re growing the center of the world in your backyard.
