Oyster Bay Pine has an avoid result in the evidence table. The single 2017 source classifies Callitris rhomboidea as highly flammable for its landscape guidance in Tasmania.
Its placement language is specific: remove the tree from the Building Protection Zone and avoid it in the Fuel Modified Zone. A lone directional row leaves the page limited evidence rather than presenting a broader source consensus.
The genus page preserves broader taxonomic navigation, and related plants holds the existing same-form alternatives. The original direction for this species remains available in the source row.
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.
Fire Resisting Garden Plants for the Urban Fringe and Rur…: remove from the Building Protection Zone; avoid in the Fuel Modified Zone [Texas Building Protection Zone] (with its avoid rating)
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.
