Did you notice if the trunk had spiny bumps on it? I think it is a Kapok Tree. Kapoks will lose their leaves in the dry season. When this happens, large pods on the tree open and are filled with a lot of cottony puffs. Then it will regrow leaves and sprout beautiful orange flowers. It grows in sub-tropical locations like Singapore.
Reply:That looks similar to cottonwood trees. Here is a picture.

Reply:Yeah, one sick tree. Maybe cottony aphid, maybe woolie adellgid, maybe many insects we in the U.S. don%26#039;t suffer from. But one thing is clear, the tree is NOT NORMAL it is sick!
