Angophora floribunda carries an avoid recommendation through the evidence table. That sourced conclusion remains specific to the rough-barked apple profile.

The accepted pack is limited evidence, and the documented rows show its actual extent. No condition, procedure, or performance measurement is added by this scene.

Same-form alternatives appear under related plants. They remain comparison records, not extensions of this species' avoid status or evidence depth. The genus collection is broader still and does not change that boundary. That distinction keeps comparison useful without treating nearby records as shared evidence here.

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.

Where its sources say to plant it

Placement rules below use each source's own distances or named zones, tied to its rating. They are not interchangeable with the directory's current Zone 0 guidance.

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.
