Eucalyptus deglupta is a tall tree,
commonly known as the rainbow eucalyptus, Mindanao gum, or rainbow
gum.
Looking at the tree, you would think
an artist took a paint brush and went to work on the bark of the tree but that
is not the case. The rainbow eucalyptus tree gets its coloring naturally
The unique
multi-coloured bark is the most distinctive feature of the tree. The trees shed
patches of bark at different times throughout the year, revealing a bright
green layer.
The inner bark
then darkens and matures into shades of blue, orange and maroon.
It is cultivated as
an ornamental tree for planting in tropical and subtropical climate in gardens
and parks.
