Trompeta china receives an avoid direction in the evidence table. The guide says Campsis grandiflora is not suitable inside the 25-metre maximum-risk zone.
That 2020 judgment comes from a qualitative garden-suitability method combining fire evidence with fuel structure, maintenance, origin, invasiveness, and fire-service experience. It assumes species-specific care. As the only directional row, it keeps the record limited evidence. The source term for that outcome is DESACONSEJADA.
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.

Guía de pirojardinería: not suitable inside the 25-metre maximum-risk zone [girona-2020-iuf-25m-suitability] (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.
Campsis grandiflora is rated “DESACONSEJADA” by the guide's qualitative IUF garden-suitability method. The method assumes species-specific care and integrates fire evidence with fuel structure, maintenance, origin, invasiveness, and expert fire-service experience.
