Sydney Peppermint tree responding after fire by putting out epicormic shoots

            Eucalptus Piperita, photographed earlier this year in the Bargo State Conservation Area, New South Wales, Australia. This area was very badly burnt in the massive 'Black Summer' fires that took place 2019-20 in Australia.

The epicormic shoots grow from epicormic buds lying underneath the bark. This tree had lost all its leaves in the fire, but the epicormic shoots enable it to survive. The bright red/orange/purple colours in the new leaves are due to anthocyanin, a pigment that protects the leaves from insect predation and from sun damage.
