Aronia is on-list in the evidence table. This is the computed direction presented for the record, not an added rating from the scene.
The conclusion carries a limited evidence basis. The cited rows keep that strength beside the on-list result so the two ideas remain easy to distinguish.
This page is a genus-rank umbrella record. A final view of the source table preserves the printed rank and prevents the on-list result from being treated as an automatic conclusion for each Aronia species. The scene therefore leaves direction, strength, and taxonomic scope as separate checks.

Fire evidence
Fire-resistant — location does not change the cited classification.
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.
FireSmart BC Plant Program: suitable for HIZ extended zone (30-100 m) [FireSmart BC Home Ignition Zone] (with its recommendation)
Eastern United States Fire Performance Plant Selector: Master Plant DB row 147 [lwf-2024-fps-carrier] (with its recommendation)
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.
