Kapok trees are also grown on plantations in southeast Asia. Ceiba pentandra can reach heights of 200 feet (60 m), may grow 13 feet (4 m) a year and can live as long as 200 years. They have wide buttresses at their base and large, flat crowns on top.
Re: Banana plant lifespan. Hardwoods vary in their active growth cycle, which generally equals the amount of time they die. For instance, a live oak can take 30 years (or maybe it's 70, I can't remember exactly right now) to grow, can live for 1000 years and then it takes 30 (or 70) years for it to die.
