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.

Avena sterilis is represented by 2 MA legal-list rows in local regulatory evidence. On the evidence table, the fire pack carries a limited evidence depth notice. A separate ecological invasive report supplies the single status entry.

The related plants, range evidence, and genus index provide comparison or distribution routes without adding another fire row. For sterilis, the paired legal entries, depth notice, and ecological report remain three different kinds of information. A return to the cited evidence preserves that division and does not extend either MA row beyond its named geography.

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.

Native and introduced range evidence

These are exact U.S. botanical-area records from the cited range source. Native and introduced describe biogeographic relationship, not fire performance or planting approval. Doubtful and extinct rows stay visible but do not count as current presence.

The lossless worldwide derivative is retained once in the research corpus; object pages repeat only exact U.S. areas needed by the local lens. The JSON twin carries the same page assertions.

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.
