- fire performance · reviewed: The authors collected foliage and twigs across study sites in Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and Virginia, then conditioned and tested the samples in a cone calorimeter. FireApproved publishes 37 exact source owners only as multi-state laboratory context. The source does not establish that every taxon was sampled in every named state, whole-plant behavior, landscape suitability, or state planting guidance.
The paper reports several cone-calorimeter measurements and warns that their rankings are not interchangeable. Verdicts therefore use only the abstract's author-named effective-heat-of-combustion extremes: taxa named high = avoid; taxa named low = recommend; every other measured taxon = mixed. This is a map of the conditioned foliage-and-twig result, not a whole-plant claim.
