Fire Resistant and Retardant Plants is the cited source for silver saltbush. It places the plant on-list in the evidence table, but the record retains its limited-evidence label because the selected support is narrow. The page reports the source's placement without inventing a broader performance threshold. No test condition is added.
A second view of the source trail keeps that boundary easy to inspect. The related-plants section supplies comparison choices, while the genus page provides context for saltbushes without turning one cited list into a statement about every Atriplex species.

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.
