A Tree
Warm Up
Work in pairs and make a list of all the things that trees give us,
If you stood with your feet in the earth
Up to your ankles in the grass
And your arms had leaves running over them
And every once in a while one of your leafy fingers
Was nudged by a bird flying past,
If the skin that covers you from top to tip
Wasn't skin at all, but bark
And you never moved your feet from their place in the earth
But stood rooted in one spot come
Rain
Wind
Snow
Sleet
Thaw
Spring
Summer

Explanation:
Many species have the ability to grow new shoots after fire. These plants resprout from buds in parts of the plant that are belowground such as the root crown or underground stems (rhizomes). Since these buds are beneath the soil surface they are protected to some degree from fire damage.
Fire-activated Seed
Fire-activated Seed Perhaps the most amazing fire adaptation is that some species actually require fire for their seeds to sprout. Some plants, such as the lodgepole pine, Eucalyptus, and Banksia, have serotinous cones or fruits that are completely sealed with resin.
