Appearing almost as if they’re paint-splattered, this is a video highlighting the very colorful rainbow eucalyptus tree (Eucalyptus deglupta), native to the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. The tree features multi-colored back that’s hard to believe Mother Nature didn’t create while on acid. Probably because she was, or at least mushrooms. Interestingly (at least to plant lovers like myself), the rainbow eucalyptus is the only eucalyptus that grows in rainforests, and the northern hemisphere. How about that! When reached for comment about the tree, several koalas I know asked them if I could smuggle them some of the leaves. “The good shit” I think they were calling it.
