An army of young eucalypts

Have you noticed that you’re surrounded by eucalypt saplings here? Many factors can impact on successful tree regrowth – young seeds and seedlings might die in parched soil, fail to grow in the shade, or be eaten by animals. It looks like the soil and the availability of water on Flea Bog Flat might be working well for these young trees. These saplings will compete for nutrients in the soil and access to the sun with only a few growing to become mature trees.
