    Cotton is cheaper. It grows on trees, which implicate better availability and easier procurement.

      Despite it’s German name Baumwolle, cotton doesn’t grow on trees, like e.g. Kapok does, but on plants which makes it easier to harvest.

        Okay. Plants instead of trees. It was a false friend, thanks for pointing out. Striked tree out for good measure.
