Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta)
Mindanao Gum - Information
The Rainbow Eucalyptus is our specialty, and we are delighted to present them to you via this website. Our aim is to help people learn about this beautiful tree, to enable people to develop appreciation for it, and to encourage people to grow the tree in their yards and communities.
Eucalyptus deglupta (Rainbow Eucalyptus) hails from the rainforests of Mindanao, which is the southernmost and easternmost island in the Philippine island group. This means that the tree is a tropical grower and as such can be grown outdoors only in Florida and perhaps southern Texas and southern California. This tree has been reported to withstand light frosts but not a hard freeze.
Another item of interest is that the Rainbow Eucalyptus does not produce the aromatic oils that other Eucalypts are well known for.

Current Retail Availability
At this time you must check with us to see if we have any Rainbows, as demand is extremely high. Normally, we have shipping sized Rainbows available at 3 to 4 feet tall and that retail for $54 each plus packing and shipping to your destination. Because of the way we grow them, our trees are the healthiest and highest quality on the market today.
Our Trees
All of the pictured examples found here are plants and/or trees actually grown by us. Our production site is not open to the public, so we regret that we cannot cater to walk-in sales. However, we do arrange for pickup at our site on appointment. We have shipped trees as far as California successfully. Prospective buyers should see the Purchasing Page for more information.
Who Benefits?
We pride ourselves on producing our trees using the most environmentally-friendly and technologically advanced methods. Our present and future crops are grown in specialized containers called Air-Pots that eliminate root circling and produce a radial root system uniquely ready for planting in the ground. For more information about these state-of-the-art root enhancement containers, see our Air-Pot retail site. In addition, all our tree root systems are inoculated with ectomycorrhizal fungus in order to maximize the nutrient uptake of the roots. Finally, all our trees are hand-watered and hand-fertilized, enabling us to be totally responsive to the state of our trees at all times. The trees benefit from the extra considerations we give them. You benefit because you get the very best Rainbow Eucalyptus available today.
The funds obtained from the sale of these trees are the primary source of financial support for the research work being carried out at Aroidia Research.
