These are #rainboweucalyptus!
Aka #Eucalyptusdeglupta or Rainbow Gums.
These #gums are SO unique.
No… kids haven’t been defacing these gums with crayons or fluro-pens.
Their vibrant colours are all natural.
Ive featured these gorgeous #gums before, but have found a number of new pics to share… 👇
These are fair-dinkum real. And they’re absolutely stunning!!
🧐 Known facts about the #rainbowgum:
- When a rainbow eucalyptus sheds its bark it reveals a neon green inner layer. Over time, as this layer is exposed to air, it ages into different colors. They display bright reds, oranges, blues, pinks and purples.
- The different colours appear as different layers fall off, while other exposed areas begin aging.
- Rainbow eucalyptus is the ONLY eucalyptus tree native to the #northernhemisphere.
- They’re found mainly in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indonesia.
