Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta), also known Indonesian Gum or Mindanao Gum, captivates with its spectacular, multicolored bark, transforming landscapes into vibrant displays of natural artistry. Native to the tropical rainforests of the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, this fast-growing tree thrives in warm, humid environments and can reach towering heights of over 100 feet in ideal conditions. Its smooth trunk is a stunning canvas of green, blue, purple, orange, and maroon, accentuated as the bark peels away throughout the season, revealing an ever-changing palette of nature’s finest hues.

Beyond its breathtaking appearance, Rainbow Eucalyptus offers ecological benefits; it stabilizes soil and controls erosion, making it a valuable addition to tropical and subtropical landscapes. It provides excellent shade—perfect for expansive gardens and parks—and creates habitats for diverse wildlife, enhancing biodiversity. As an evergreen, it maintains year-round greenery with aromatic leaves, while its small, showy white flowers add seasonal interest and attract pollinators. Ideal for USDA Zones 10-11, Rainbow Eucalyptus requires full sun and moist soils, ensuring your surroundings are as vibrant and lively as the tree itself. Transform your landscape and embrace the natural wonder of the Rainbow Eucalyptus—a marvel rooted in beauty and ecological sustainability.
