The Most Colorful Tree on Earth

These trees may look like they’ve been painted on, but these colors are all natural. This peculiar tree is called Eucalyptus deglupta, commonly known as the Rainbow Eucalyptus, and also known as the Mindanao Gum, or the Rainbow Gum. The multi-coloured streaks on its trunk comes from patches of outer bark that are shed annually at different times, showing the bright-green inner bark. This then darkens and matures to give blue, purple, orange and then maroon tones.

Eucalyptus deglupta is the only Eucalyptus species found naturally in the Northern Hemisphere. It grows naturally in New Britain, New Guinea, Ceram, Sulawesi and Mindanao. Now, this tree is cultivated widely around the world, mainly for pulpwood used in making paper, and also for ornamental purposes.

Kickstarter

Our friend Jonathan Smith is a fairly well known actor in the L.A. improve scene. He delighted us with his first movie Breast Picture and now he’s working on another called The Worst Year Of My Life. To help get production rolling Jonathan made a Kickstarter page to raise the funds they need. Strange Beaver has already made a pledge to help out and no we’re asking you guys to help out too. If you can spare a couple of bucks cool, if not, please help spread the word. We might even get one of the characters to wear a Strange Beaver shirt in the movie!
