Eucalyptus Deglupta is one of my favourite trees also known as - Rainbow Gum. The unique multi-coloured bark is the most distinctive feature of the tree. Patches of outer bark are shed annually at different times, showing a bright green inner bark. This then darkens and matures to give blue, purple, orange and then maroon tones. This is a tall tropical tree to 60m native to the northern hemisphere mainly the Phillipenes, Indonesia & Papa New Guinea. It is growing beautifully here in Cairns Botan
