Physical Adaptations:
- The Australian blackwood drops seed which can only germinate after fire, and the sprouts when damaged can still survive by growing back underground and starting again (root suckers)
- Growing thick and tall with lots of leaves to increase surface area and chance to photosynthesize.

Physiological Adaptations:
-The Australian Blackwood has a nectar gland that attracts different species of ants that kill off other herbivores and protect the leaves of the tree.
- The tree has photosynthetic stems, making photosynthesis more regular, the tree also grows quite tall as a result.

Behavioural Adaptations:
- The tree drops its seeds in spring where there is a higher chance of birds or other insects and animals that can carry the seeds to other places where it can germinate new shoots.
