Rainbow Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus deglupta, commonly known as the rainbow eucalyptus, Mindanao gum, or rainbow gum is native to the Philippines, Indonesia + Papua New Guinea. The tree is known for its multi-colored bark that peels to reveal streaks of green, blue, purple, orange, + maroon. While it is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant + can even become highly invasive, experts estimate that the wild population has declined by approximately 30% over the last two centuries as the species is heavily threatened by logging for timber + agricultural expansion.
