Regeneration only occurs in a fire which destroys the trees, since only then are the gumnuts able to geminate. Plantations of such trees typically involves aerial drops of seed, followed by burning.

Treeferns are common in rainforest and the understorey of eucalypt forests all over the east coast of Australia. The trunk is segmented and based on previous year's fronds. It is possible to cut the trunk at any point and replant the treefern.
