Post 7- The rainbow eucalyptus

This seems artificially painted eucalyptus , however its fascinating combination of colors occurs naturally in the bark , a feature that makes them one of the most amazing trees of the world. It's like a wonder of nature .
 The Rainbow eucalyptus can find mostly in New Guinea, New Britain , Sulaewsi and Mindanao. However, today this variety of trees is grown worldwide and is primarily used as pulp for paper.
The secret of its great color gamma is changing cortex, as you get older is changing hue , turning purple , green , orange and yellow .
By moving the bark annually, but at different times , green interior darkens to give blue , purple, maroon , orange , pink , ocher and many more as you can see in these pictures.
And last but not least , this beautiful tree can grow up to three meters in a year. Unfortunately this makes their cultivation to increase, and how I say before, it´s being use in large paper mills .
This trees seems to be really exotic but it's not very hard to find , they are almost as common as eucalyptus. Anyway, I have never seen one of these trees and they seem magical to me, as if they were not of this world.


just look at them, look like they were painted by a person
