If it looks like a rainbow, it must be a rainbow, right?(environmentalgraffiti.com)

One guess at what one Web site calls the most colorful tree in the world.

The Rainbow Eucalyptus (eucalyptus deglupta) is not native to Portland, Ore.

While this tree certainly has an amazing rainbow bark, is there any discussion as to whether or not it indeed deserves the title ‘World’s most colorful tree?

Any alternate suggestions?
