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.
