The eucalyptus tree does not require bushfires to reproduce, but bushfires can aid reproduction. Intense heat tends to explode the seed pods thereby helping in reproduction process of the tree.

Why does Australia experience bushfires?
Australia's dry climate, tendency to drought (which dries out the vegetation) and extended summer heatwaves in the south all contribute to the high incidence of bushfires. During summer, masses of hot air head east and south from the overheated centre of the continent, contributing to the conditions. The great number of eucalyptus trees also contribute to the severity and extent of bushfires as, when overheated, the eucalyptus sap can literally blow the top off the gum trees and spread the fire.
Which Country will you find a blackbutt tree?
Blackbutt trees are found in Australia. Blackbutts are a type of eucalyptus, quite tall, and commonly found in elevated countryside through the Great Dividing Range in eastern Australia.
