Kapok!!!

Does anyone know how old a Kapok tree has to be before it develops those formidable looking spikes that ive seen in quite a few pictures. And also how long it takes for it to develop impressive buttress roots?

    My kapok is about 12 years old from seed.

    Every year as a kid when visiting my Grandparents in Florida we used to visit a landmark local restaraunt in Clearwater, Florida called "The Kapok Tree." If I recall it had a huge Kapok specimen growing up through the floor and through through the high glass ceiling. Your post brought back some good memories for me thanks.
