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.

The Rainbow Eucalyptus' trunk and limbs are a variegated display of browns, purples, oranges, reds, and yellows. The colors arise from the unique quality of its bark and the staggered timing with which the bark sheds. Unlike trees such as oaks, which have continually thickening layers of corky bark, eucalyptus trees shed thin layers of bark throughout their lifetimes.
