Because In the autumn, the branches of the eucalyptus tree fall to the ground and contain flammable oil, so they burn quickly.

However, the trunk of eucalyptus can withstand extreme heat. That is why eucalyptus grows after the fire is extinguished.

These trees, which are often the victims of fire, spread rapidly due to fire. Because Eucalyptus has special knots in the roots and trunk. And this knot is not destroyed by fire.

When eucalyptus trees catch fire, their trunks rupture and the knots in them fly away and eucalyptus grows there again and thus fire is also a factor in increasing the hierarchy of eucalyptus trees.
