    Fire High suspected Occasional fires are likely to be required for reproduction; frequency current (Bayliss 2003); and reduced fire frequencies may be responsible for past population declines (Buist et al.; 2002).

    Weed invasion following fire events is also a significant threat to regeneration potential.
