Karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor) is a eucalypt which is native to the wetter regions of south western Australia. The tree grows to 90 metres, making it one of the tallest species in the world.

Karri has white to cream bark that changes to brown as it matures and is shed.

As the bark is shed the predominantly white trunk takes on a patina of colours from white to grey to deep brown. It is this effect from which the botanic name derives.
