Eucalyptus deglupta is a tall tree, commonly known as the rainbow eucalyptus, Mindanao gum, or rainbow gum. It is the only Eucalyptus species found naturally in the Northern Hemisphere. Its natural distribution spans New Britain, New Guinea, Seram, Sulawesi and Mindanao.[+]
Eucalyptus deglupta, also known as the Rainbow Eucalyptus, is a tropical tree native to the Philippines and Indonesia. It is characterized by its distinctive, multicolored bark and rapid growth rate.
In Qatar, Eucalyptus deglupta has been introduced as an ornamental plant and can be found in various gardens and landscapes. Due to Qatar's arid climate, the tree often requires extensive irrigation to thrive. Despite these challenges, it has been successfully cultivated in certain areas, such as the Aspire Park in Doha, where its striking appearance adds a pop of color to the landscape.
It is worth noting that while Eucalyptus deglupta can be grown in Qatar, it may not be as widely adapted or sustainable as other plant species native to the region. Further research and study are needed to fully understand the tree's performance and potential environmental impacts in Qatar's unique climate.

Rainbow gum tree (Eucalyptus deglupta) on Wadi Al Sahl Street in Onaiza area. Doha, Qatar, April 8, 2015Al Wosail St, Doha, QatarThe rainbow gum tree (Eucalyptus deglupta) has been observed in the Onaiza area of Doha, Qatar. Specifically, on Wadi Al Sahl Street, the tree's flowers were visible on April 8, 2015. The tree itself was also present on this street, indicating that it can thrive in Qatar's environment. The presence of Eucalyptus deglupta in this area suggests that the species is capable of adapting to the local climate and soil conditions. The observation of flowers on the tree implies that it is able to reproduce in Qatar, which could have implications for its potential as an invasive species or its use as an ornamental plant. Overall, these observations provide insight into the growth and development of Eucalyptus deglupta in Qatar's urban environment. The tree's ability to grow and flower in Doha suggests that it may be a viable option for landscaping and gardening in the area.
