The deglupta eucalyptus tree sheds its bark several times a year, revealing brightly colored stripes, creating a magical effect like a rainbow rising from the ground.

The official name of the rainbow eucalyptus tree is Eucalyptus deglupta. This tree is known as one of the most beautiful natural wonders of nature. The plant is native to the Philippines, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Visitors can also find rainbow eucalyptus in Hawaii and southern areas of California, Texas and Florida (USA).

Visitors can’t help but be surprised to see the tree turn into 7 rainbow colors rising from the ground.

The rainbow effect is created when the bark of the eucalyptus tree peels off throughout the year, revealing new, bright green bark underneath. Each of these new bark layers as they mature will change color from light to darker, from green, blue, purple to yellow, orange, red and brown.

In 1929, the Wahiawa Botanical Garden of O’ahu, Hawaii began planting the first rainbow eucalyptus tree. The original purpose of these trees being brought to Hawaii was to help deal with the deforestation disaster. However, with its “one-of-a-kind” magical beauty, the rainbow flock stands out with its natural landscape and is becoming more and more famous.

The deglupta eucalyptus tree is the only species of eucalyptus native to the Northern Hemisphere. The plant thrives in humid environments and can grow up to 90 cm per season. In the natural environment, the rainbow eucalyptus tree can grow up to 76 m tall, but in the US, this tree is only about 38 m tall.

Rainbow eucalyptus not only has impressive beauty, but the oil extracted from the leaves also has a relaxing effect as a medicine.

Now, the rainbow-colored trunks of the deglupta eucalyptus have become a bright spot attracting tourists from all over the world to visit Hawaii and other countries with this tree.
