The beautiful Rainbow Eucalyptus trees on several of the Hawaiian islands are stunning tourist attractions, which are unfortunately also somewhat harmful to the environment.
You can see them at arboretums on the Road to Hana, and growing in groves on Maui, among other places.
They grow very quickly, and were originally brought from the Philippines a century ago to use for lumber. It turns out: their twisted trunks aren't good for construction purposes.
Problems developed with other planned uses for the Rainbow Eucalyptus on the islands, too.
While the eucalyptus was introduced into some areas to help control soil erosion, the beautiful trees ended up taking too much moisture out of the soil they were supposed to stabilize.
