Component-level study of Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis live crown and dead litter. The authors report relative resistance to ignition and low crown/litter ignitability, while requiring multiple methods to characterize sustainability, combustibility, and consumability. Both rows map to mixed; no overall low-flammability class is inferred.

Tier 1 bench-scale laboratory study using mass-loss calorimetry, epiradiator, and oxygen bomb methods. The selected-variety cypress-barrier application is framed as a promising complementary tool needing further study. Evidence remains variety-, part-, moisture-, and placement-specific and does not roll up to the species or genus.
