Eucalyptus surviving January’s terrible bushfire - Regrowth from epicormic buds buried deep within the trunk. (In normal conditions the crown of leaves on the tree produces hormones which inhibit the epicormic buds from sprouting) that sprout anywhere along branches and trunk giving the trees a ‘fluffy’ appearance, The native cypress pines do not have this survival advantage and have remained as black skeletons.
