Poa names keep away recommendation. On poa, limited evidence is the next poa fact. The banner is not the whole file — Poa. avoid does not replace limited evidence on poa.
Use evidence on poa for poa. The citations remain on Poa for poa. On poa, poa holds avoid beside limited evidence in the poa table for Poa. On poa, poa holds avoid beside limited evidence in the poa table for Poa.
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.

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.
