Table 2 recommends named grasses for California fuelbreak sites. Tables 3 and 4 classify shrub field performance as Good, Fair, or Poor for southern California brushland clearings; Table 5 separately lists 22 shrub taxa not considered suitable, with reasons that include establishment, adaptation, fuel volume, morphology, and flammability.

Performance and suitability are preserved as source placement evidence. Poor and unsuitable rows are recorded as not-rated rather than as avoid evidence because many failures concern establishment or site adaptation rather than intrinsic flammability.
