Ceiba pentandra - Kekabu / Kapok


This tree reminds me of my former workplace in Putrajaya. It was much easier to identify and locate the tree in Putrajaya but when I tried to locate it in KL Lake Garden, it was more like treasure hunting. There are many mature trees especially the big strangling figs around - luckily one of the branch was hit by lightning and drop to the ground. With the leaves and thorns on greenish bark, it is unmistakable to confirm its identification.
