They’re common in parts of Argentina, where they get quite large and are both bizarre and beautiful. There are also Brachycitons around that block, and several other unusual species. I wonder who it was that was responsible for these unusual choices?

(aka Ceiba speciosa) Super fabulous. Should be in bloom a month from now. Be sure to revisit it then! (Another excellent one in the neighborhood, with a super spiny trunk, is on Potrero at 20th.)
Hey it would be great if you did a story about the need for all these unusual trees around the parking lot at 17th /Shotwell/Folsom to be protected during the construction that transforms it into a park…
Thanks for the story and the photos.
