The beautiful Rainbow Eucalyptus is remarkably so beautiful and is so unbelievably fragrant and this tree’s coloring is entirely natural. As the Rainbow Eucalyptus grows the bark falls away in patches at different times of year exposing the bright green inner bark. As time passes the inner back changes colour going blue, purple, orange and then maroon, giving the trees their incredibly colourful look.
