A deciduous tall tree native to Brazil and Argentina. Its trunk swells up like a sake bottle, and cotton can be harvested from its fruit, which is why it’s sometimes called the Sake-bottle Kapok. Locally, in Spanish, it goes by the name "Palo Borracho," meaning "drunken tree." True to its tropical roots, it blooms with large, glossy flowers reminiscent of hibiscus. In Japan, you’ll even find it planted as a street tree in warm places like Okinawa and Miyazaki. Personally, what really catches my eye isn’t the bottle-shaped trunk, but the impressive thorns all over it…

Mientras tanto, las acacias, plátanos, paraísos, robles y fresnos comienzan a poblarse con brotes y hojas. Se ven copos de algodón pendiendo de las decenas de palos borrachos (Chorisia speciosa o Chorisia insignis) que pueblan el casco histórico.
