Asparago bianco has an avoid recommendation in the evidence table. Its pack remains limited evidence. The available sources establish both labels without supplying a broader performance record.

The fire lineage is a Tlemcen plant-grouping study examining fire risk in associations with Cistus in western Algeria. The selected fire condition here is green, with its test context preserved under performance conditions.

Same-form alternatives are documented under related plants. They create a comparison route while leaving the avoid recommendation, limited pack, and Tlemcen evidence attached to Asparagus albus within this individual species account.

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.

Conditions in the fire evidence

These describe tested or rated plant material. They are not horticultural maintenance instructions.

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.
