Default Eucalyptus ficifolia seeds

there would be nay hope of regeneration or whether, seeds having

eucalypts!


Eucs are famed for their capacity to recover from fire. Very quickly
they sprout again from the truck and later from the branches, not all
branches but most of them. In a few short years, you'd never know
that a fire had been through, except for the blackened trunk. Mind
you they also go up like tinder boxes in a fire - don't plant any near
the house.
