The evidence table keeps the recommendation and evidence depth visible beside the study. A final check of the source material preserves the paper as one citation instead of a series of title fragments. This keeps the lineage legible while leaving the on-list result tied to the full pack. The compact label keeps the study identity intact throughout that careful final source comparison.

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.
8 cited rows from this source; its identity, lineage and tier are stated once.
