Common Uses:
Did you know? Eucalyptus kochii thrives in fire-prone Australian environments due to its exceptional adaptations. Lignotubers at its base, housing dormant buds and energy reserves, allow for rapid post-fire regeneration. Additionally, the unique, readily shed bark facilitates a quick burn, minimizing heat damage. This remarkable fire tolerance underscores Eucalyptus kochii's resilience and its role in post-fire habitat recovery.
Suggested Storage: Stored at temperature <30°C in closed containers and protected from direct sunlight.
