Rainbow eucalyptus is an evergreen tree with spear-shaped, silvery-green leaves and clusters of tiny white flowers. The most stunning feature is the trunk, which grows rainbow bark in shades of green, blue, orange, red, and purple. As it grows, the bark peels off in strips to reveal new colors and patterns, its beauty constantly evolving. Only certain parts of the United States are home to rainbow eucalyptus trees because they need a consistently warm climate with plenty of rain to grow. In their native environment, rainbow eucalyptus trees can reach over 200 feet tall. However, they'll stay around 100 feet in the U.S.You can keep them even shorter by pruning them regularly. These trees grow fast, and it's not uncommon for them to shoot up by five feet in a single season, so they can reach towering heights in almost no time.
