Hiedra amarilla has an avoid result in the cited row. The 2020 guide places Senecio tamoides outside the suitable choices for the 25-metre maximum-risk zone.
Its qualitative garden method assumes species-specific care and weighs fire evidence, fuel structure, maintenance, origin, invasiveness, and fire-service experience. The source labels the outcome DESACONSEJADA; that term remains attached to the evidence table. The method is applied to this named vine.
A single guide entry leaves the page limited evidence. related plants provides the existing vine comparisons without extending the guide's placement beyond this species.
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.
Senecio tamoides 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.
