Tourist Tree



The Rainbow Eucapyptus that we were enchanted by in Hawaii has been imported to Costa Rica also. Madri, our guide calls it the tourist tree. The multicolor bark that peels off to reveal each color got this nickname because it turns red and peels like tourists. Cute! Eucalyptus being an introduced species has become a pest tree along with many other plants.
