Rainbow Eucalyptus: The Most Beautiful Tree in the World
The Eucalyptus Rainbow is an impressive tree found in the rainforests of Maui, Hawaii. It is quite a tall plant, the only species of eucalyptus that naturally grows in the Northern Hemisphere.
The multicolored trunk of this tree takes on wonderful shades of yellow, green, orange, violet and blue. The colors are a result of the exfoliation of the bark which reveal layer upon layer of color. This phenomenon occurs over the course of many years, making it a true work of art. At its mature state, this plant can reach up to 70 meters in height and 2 meters in diameter. This natural wonder reaches its maximum splendor when it blossoms, covering itself with wonderful and soft white flowers.
This Rainbow Tree’s natural habitat is found in tropical or subtropical climate zones. It also grows in the Philippines and Indonesia. These splendid and majestic specimens, although not very well known, are mainly cultivated to produce wood. The bark is used for making paper. It is a bit of a sacrilege to the incredible beauty of these trees that represent the umpteenth wonder of nature.
