The Philippines is one of the luckiest countries to be blessed with diverse natural resources. The country is the home of different animal and plant species native to its rainforests and bodies of water.
One of the country's pride would be the 'Rainbow Eucalyptus Tree' which is scientifically known as 'Eucalyptus Deglupta'. What made this particular tree special is its ability to display different technicolor patterns whenever its bark is shed. The tree seems to magically transform itself into a rainbow-colored tree as it grows.
This wonderful tree cultivates itself in the southern part of the Philippines, specifically in Mindanao. It can grow up to 250 feet tall with a 6 feet diameter when cultivated in the rainforests. However, they can only reach 125 meters and produce duller colors when grown outside the tropics.
Although it is the only eucalyptus tree native to the northern hemisphere, countries such as Hawaii, California, Texas and Florida already started to cultivate them. These trees also grow in countries such as New Britain, New Guinea, Seram and Sulawesi. These countries could be found in the Southern Hemisphere of the globe.
During the first phase of its shedding period, the tree will produce green patches of color along its barks. These patches of colors will then transform into different shades of blue, purple, orange and maroon as time goes by. The process will then give the tree a colorful appearance.
Take a closer look at nature's work of art:

Brighter colors of the eucalyptus tree indicate that the tree grew inside the natural rainforests.

Although it has an unbelievable appearance, American experts warn people of growing them in their own backyards as this particular tree is considered invasive. Penalties and fines are imposed for illegal cultivation of these magical trees.
