Kapok
I think this is Kapok
Aka Silk Cotton tree
Posting some pics as the thorns and green hues around the buttress and bole are quite striking imo
D.b.h around 80cm
Lovely tree worthy of mention
Any thoughts?

Does not look like a Kapok to me. Where are you and the tree?

I am not saying it's not Kapok, but those spikes on the lower back remind me of trees I cut up near the intersection of Kennedy Highway and East Evelyn Rd. Brain has faded at present, but it will eventually come to me. I remember old Tiny Hayes planted a lot of rainforest trees in and around the old artists village at Battle Ck.
