Throughout the year, the Rainbow Eucalyptus sheds its bark multiple times, exposing a brilliant array of colorful stripes that give rise to a wondrous spectacle resembling a rainbow emerging from the earth.
The official name of the Rainbow Eucalyptus tree is Eucalyptus deglupta. It is considered one of the most beautiful natural wonders of the world. The tree is native to the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, and can also be found in Hawaii and southern regions of California, Texas, and Florida (USA).
The rainbow effect is created when the bark of the Rainbow Eucalyptus tree peels off throughout the year, revealing fresh, bright green layers underneath. As each layer of bark matures, it changes color from bright to darker shades, ranging from green, blue, purple, to yellow, orange, red, and brown.
The Rainbow Eucalyptus tree not only has an impressive beauty, but the oil extracted from its leaves also has a relaxing effect as a medicinal herb.
Nowadays, the rainbow-colored trunks of the Eucalyptus deglupta trees have become a popular attraction for tourists from all over the world visiting Hawaii and countries where this species of tree is found.
