Nature is filled with many beautiful animals, plants, and trees, but witnessing a rainbow eucalyptus is one of the most spectacular sights. These trees have several unique qualities and are only found in a few regions of the world.

A Brief Guide to Rainbow Eucalyptus Trees

What do rainbow eucalyptus trees look like?

As the name suggests, rainbow eucalyptus trees have bright, multicolored bark that resembles a rainbow. There are different hues of each color that appear to be applied to the bark using paintbrushes, but this is an entirely natural occurrence. They have tapering leaves that can reach as large as six inches long and four inches wide, with small white flowers that bloom throughout the year.

What makes them unique?

Although the colors are one of the most unique characteristics of rainbow eucalyptus trees, they have several other interesting features. For one, the colors on the tree form when the bark starts to shed. Over time, this creates their rainbow appearance. 

Eventually, they return to brown, and the process starts again once the shedding is complete. Another interesting fact is that they're considered some of the fasting growing trees in the world as they grow over three feet per year! In their natural habitat, these trees can reach well over 250 feet in height, with trunks up to six feet in diameter. 

Where do rainbow eucalyptus trees grow?

Rainbow eucalyptus trees can be planted in various areas but thrive in their natural habitats. This includes places like Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and the beautiful state of Hawaii near many popular beach view rental places. They need hot, humid environments and thrive in tropical areas.

What are some benefits of these trees?

In addition to their natural beauty, rainbow eucalyptus has a few benefits. They can help naturally soak up excess water in the environment, which helps prevent mosquitos from breeding. They also provide a lot of great natural shade sources and make for beautiful landscape aesthetics. The wood can also be made into paper and lumber.
