About the same, basically pastel version of this pic.
Google it.

So then not the same.

Google "about" and "basically" while you're at it.
As a biologist I've seen all the saturation 100 nature pics and know how ridiculous they can get. But having seen these trees shedding in real life even these pics are very close. Especially fresh in the sun.
The only exception being the reds are not that fire red but can get pretty blood red and the dark blue hue is from oversaturation is more greyish blue.
The vivid neon green can definitely be that bright and look even more stark when not contrasted by the reds and yellows but only by the outer bark.

I have seen the exact trees in these photographs dozens of times in my time living in the area. They are on the Hana highway on Maui. They do not look like this in person, the saturation is jacked to an insane degree.

Your description gives a much closer sense being similar than “pastel”. Pastel colors are completely different from what you described from your experiences.
Edit: Good ole downvotes just because.

Would these grow in the phoenix az desert?

u/LockedOutBoy Dec 09 '22
Sadly they thrive in rainforest like environments. But if dedicated enough you could artificially create a habitat and make a solid bush. But I wouldn't expect massive growth.

It’s pretty true to life. I saw them in New Zealand on vacation and they truly are this beautiful.

These things are really cool..As each layer of bark matures, it turns shades of purple, orange, blue, and red.

I live in Australia. Can confirm they do not look like this.

This is Eucalyptus deglupta native to Philippines, Indonesia, etc. What I think you saw is Eucalyptus camaldulensis which can be found in Australia.

They are incredible looking! It makes me sad to have to minimize them in any way, but they don’t look like this at all. They aren’t neon.

u/plzsendbobsandvajeen Dec 09 '22
It would be hard to catch them like that tbh, the bark is in super thin strips and as they peel away they cause the initial bright green and then it's kind of how oxygen hits it. I don't know if planing them for flooring would work the same but I'd love to see it if it did

u/plzsendbobsandvajeen Dec 09 '22
Although thinking about it now, I wonder if you could plane them and lay tape in strips and peel off as they go in certain patterns to have the change while also epoxy sealing the previously changed ones so you could get the color changes

So this is what a 90's era bowling ally looks like before its harvested, processed and assembled.

I had a house with a 400 ft driveway that was lined with these. Beautiful but the branches would break all the time and block the driveway.

Hyper saturated pictures of rainbow eucalyptus, further bastardizing nature as something that would look better if we fucked around with it.

When you see a tree like this, a California Redwood or a grand Oak, how can you not believe in a higher power? Mother Nature is awesome.

The Rainbow Eucalyptus, also called Pohon anak-anak (engl: Child-Tree), is the only tree on earth that produces the so called "tree-cakes" after 10-20 years of growing. These cakes are harvested by the indigenous people of Indonesia for the feast of anak-anak, the most holy feast in their culture.
The smell of "tree-cakes" is often compared to fuel, which is based on their toxic ingredients. After consuming, some people get into a bloodthirsty madness, so the fest of anak-anak is often also called the "feast of the murder".

Please tell me those are real and not a special art project

u/JBrewd Dec 09 '22
They are real but they only look like this if you're frying balls. Color is much closer to pastels than this over-saturated bs

u/Nobody275 Dec 09 '22
That’s pretty true to life. The ones on the left are rare. The ones on the right hand side are what they look like more often.

So, is the wood like this throughout the tree, or is this just the bark/outer layer? It's be cool to do some woodworking or turning with.

Not that I would condone cutting them down, but I'm curious if anyone knows if their cross cuts are rainbow too? Like the rings? I couldn't find any pics online
