| The 80 foot tall Kapok (Ceiba pentandra) from a Central American rain forest was designated the Florida Champion Kapok by the Florida Division of Forestry in 1995. In 1915, the sacred African Baobab (Adansonia digitatata) (located approximately 60 feet to the west, abutting Fernwood Drive), known as one of the world's longest living trees, was first introduced to the U.S. at Key Biscayne. In 1995, it was listed on the Florida Champion Tree Registry. |  |
