“Seeds are Very Tiny, Handle with Care”
Revealing a Bark Marked by Multicolored Hues of the Rainbow, the Rainbow Eucalyptus, as it is Rightly Called, Prompts and Demands a Reaction that can only be Described as One of Awe and Pure, Unadulterated Amazement. The Bark is Reminiscent of an Artist’s Painting, like the Brilliant Strokes of Paint Splashed Liberally Across the Canvas, the Bark Glistens in the Seven-Hued Rainbow Colors. Rainbow Eucalyptus is the Only Eucalyptus Tree Indigenous to the Northern Hemisphere. Found Mainly in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indonesia, & Grows well in Hawaii, Southern Florida, & Southern California. It Thrives in Tropical Forests that Get a Lot of Rain — Which Also Makes it the Only Eucalyptus Tree to Grow in the Rainforest. The Tree Grows up to Massive 250 Feet & is Considered to be One of the Fastest Growing Trees in the World.
The tree requires heavy sunlight for optimum growth. This species thrives in deep sandy, loamy soils that are fertile, moist, and well-drained. It doesn’t appreciate high alkalinity in the soil, fairing better with neutral to slightly acidic pH levels. established rainbow eucalyptus trees can tolerate some drought, they need regular watering during their first year. The trees can’t handle prolonged flooding or waterlogged conditions, but keeping them moist will encourage the trunk and the bark to swell, encouraging more defined color stripes. These trees grow best in temperatures of around 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and appreciate high humidity levels. Unsurprisingly, rainbow eucalyptus trees are not tolerant of frosts. Temperature, humidity, and airflow all have a considerable influence on how distinct the coloration of the tannins in the tree bark will be.

“Seeds are Very Tiny, Handle with Care”
1) Cold stratify for by placing seeds in a wet paper towel. Put inside of a zip lock bag and place in the fridge for 2 weeks. This will help to increase germination rates.
2) Use a mix of 50% sand, & 50% peat moss.
3) Place seeds on top of mixed soil, and do not bury as they need light in order to germinate. Use a spray bottle to mist and keep them slightly moist, but not overly wet.
4) Use a heated propagator mat to keep them at appx. 75 degrees F.
5) Keep in a lightly shaded area for the first 3 days. Then place in the full sun for only 1 hour each day for 1 week. Gradually increase the full sun until they are receiving 50% full sun each day, but never full sun all day.
6) Keep moist with a spray bottle.
7) Germination is erratic, and will take anywhere from 14-90 days. Don’t toss out any that do not sprout early as they are still good and will sprout at a later time.
