Rainbow Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus deglupta

“The bark peels to reveal green, blue, purple, orange, and maroon. All at once.”

The only eucalyptus native to the Northern Hemisphere. As the outer bark sheds, the new bark underneath is bright green — then it matures through blue, purple, orange, and maroon before peeling again. The trunk looks like a living painting. Fastest-growing of all eucalyptus. Zone 10 and warmer in the ground; container-worthy in Zone 9. If you haven't seen one in person, you won't believe it's real until you do.
