It would be a wild sight...if you haven't seen a tree in the Bombaceae family before...many species produce Kapok. (which look and feel like cotton) All genera of the Bombaceae family are tropical in origin.

Cotton wool balls that you can pick from the tree!

Yes, this tree is very commonly grown throughout California (except for the high mountains)
