Picture of the Day: Rainbow Eucalyptus Tree

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.
