Juniperus oxycedrus anchors keep away recommendation. Then Flammability of some companion species in on Juniperus oxycedrus. The facts stay as separate jobs — Juniperus oxycedrus. On juniperus oxycedrus, avoid does not replace Flammability of some companion. Juniperus oxycedrus is the taxon those two facts attach to.
Use evidence on Juniperus oxycedrus. The sourced rows remain on Juniperus oxycedrus. On juniperus oxycedrus, avoid sits with Flammability of some companion beside Juniperus oxycedrus.

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.
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.
Guía de pirojardinería: not suitable inside or outside 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.
Juniperus oxycedrus is rated “MUY 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.
