of the most colorful tree on earth

The Most Colourful Tree on Earth: The bark of the Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta) or Mindanao Gum has different shades of color caused by bark shedding.

The Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta) or Mindanao Gum is the only species of Eucalyptus tree found in the northern hemisphere. As if that weren’t extraordinary enough, the up to 70-m tall tree also shines in the colours of the rainbow: its bark can take on a yellow, green, orange and even purple shading!
