Red bloodwood tree after fire
Description
There was a fire recently in the Royal National Park in Australia. This tree (Red bloodwood, Corymbia gummifera) is starting to recover from the fire by putting out epicormic shoots (shoots that grow from previously dormant buds on the trunk). 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.
