Plants in Boise
Plant evidence Scoped by documented range and hardiness — independent of any construction code.
Boise's foothills list runs 563 documented plant records in 288 groups, on a 6b-to-7a card.
Sagebrush-country yards burn differently than lawns, so read the evidence first: the split shows what each group's cited records actually say, and narrowing by water separates the xeriscape plants from the thirsty ones.
