Can you make anything from the cotton for cottonwood trees?

well not anything





I don%26#039;t think you%26#039;d be able to make a nuclear reactor with it

Can you make anything from the cotton for cottonwood trees?
Funny... when I read your question, the term %26quot;kapok%26quot; came to mind. It%26#039;s a fiber similar to the fuzz from cottonwood trees that was once used in life vests; I haven%26#039;t thought of that stuff in years. Funny what you remember when the right circumstances are there, no?
Reply:Well, if you%26#039;re ot and about in the woods and find some really young wild grape vines, or young tender branches, you can make a little doll. Clothe it in a dress made from the leaves of nearby plants, and give her a mane of beautiful white hair. Takes a little ingenuity to tie all that stuff with no string, but my Grandma did it lots of times. Pretty neat huh? Kids love it, esp. little girls.
Reply:Sorry, the only thing I know that it is good for is air conditioner repairmen.
Reply:You can use it to make people sneeze. Or you can use it as it was intended, to disperse seeds.
