A genus split is not a placement verdict.
Is this one for your yard?
Enter your ZIP to see whether this is legal to plant in your state, and whether it survives your winter.
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.
