Banksia attenuata resprouting from epicormic buds following a bushfire
Further information: Crown sprouter and Epicormic sprouter

Resprouters are plant species that are able to survive fire by the activation of dormant vegetative buds to produce regrowth.[1]

Plants may resprout by means of lignotubers at the base or epicormic buds.

Resprouters characterize chaparral, and other landscapes that experience periodic fires.
