David Attenborough ventures into Kew Gardens and unearths the shocking story of a plant that, at the right temperature, can spontaneously combust! Eucalyptus oil is highly flammable; ignited trees have been known to explode. Bushfires can travel easily through the oil-rich air of the tree crowns. Eucalypts obtain long-term fire survivability from their ability to regenerate from epicormic buds situated deep within their thick bark, or from lignotubers,or by producing serotinous fruits. Kingdom of Plants 3D is a natural history documentary series written and presented by David Attenborough, which explores the world of plants. It was filmed over the course of a year at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Welcome to Nature Bites the OFFICIAL Nature Hub Channel.
