The source's fire-resistant plant list anchors mountain hickory wattle's fire record. It places Acacia obliquinervia on-list, as shown in the evidence table. The page nevertheless retains limited evidence because this selected listing does not bring a second lineage or a measured performance threshold with it. The source-list entry arrives without a selected test condition.

The citation trail remains compact enough to inspect as one source. The related-plants section supplies alternatives for comparison, whereas the genus page offers taxonomy only; neither route changes the scope of the mountain hickory wattle entry.

How to read this page

The status above is computed from the cited rows below: independent recommendations can support a fire-resistant result, an avoid row can produce keep-away, and disagreement stays visible as conflict. Placement notes preserve each source’s own scheme rather than translating unlike rules into one scale. This is evidence about a plant, not permission to plant it in every part of the defensible space; Zone 0 remains noncombustible.

The evidence

Grouped by what each source concluded. Primary evidence rated the plant itself (a lab, field program, or original curation); corroboration compiled or republished another source's rating and resolves to its root lineage.
