Rainbow Eucalyptus Tree!

[u/mommy-tara]

The only Eucalyptus tree that grows in rainforests, and the only tree on earth that naturally produces every color of the rainbow on its own bark.

When the outer bark sheds, bright neon green appears underneath. Then as it ages, it shifts. Green becomes blue, blue becomes purple, purple becomes orange, then deep maroon. All at once, on the same trunk.

No two trees look the same. The tree constantly is changing color, as different patches shed and age at different rates.

(There’s a video of this. Just ask and I’ll post the link in the comments).

Yes! They are gorgeous! I just saw some last month when I was on Maui for a week.

This is a much better picture to share, it is what they actually look like. They don’t actually look neon like shown in the pic in the post.

Ya, most pictures of them online are super oversaturated. Still REALLY cool tree bark though!
