eucalypts are a genus of trees and do not have 'behaviour'. There are 300 species within the genus and are found in a range of habitats from coasts to deserts, tropical rainforests to alpine areas. As a result they have adapted to the environment with various features not limited to a deep root system to access water, irregular flowering, hard seed cases, epicormic growth from damaged bark, waxy leaves etc

The eucalypt is extremely adaptable. Within species there can be physical adaptations to factors such as soil aspect and proximity to water. and yet it can adapt to exposed coastal cliffs by growing mallee-like (with multiple trunks) and small in height. Eucalypts, evolved to cope with Australia's climate, have adapted to survive though drought and bushfire. In particular, eucalypts have a 'remarkable array of characteristics connected with fire. In some instances eucalypts can be a fire hazard. Yet re-growth enables them to regenerate after fire. Adaptations that promote fire include: a high content of volatile oils in the leaves and litter; litter that breaks down extremely slowly; an open canopy; long strands of bark that hang from limbs after peeling and which can be carried alight for many kilometers to start new spot' fires well ahead of the fire front.)Most eucalypts can regenerate from seed after fire. Many eucalypts have woody capsules that protect the seeds during fire, but which open after fire, releasing their seeds.
