Coverage contract

fire performance · reviewed: Oklahoma State University Extension frames the article around statewide Oklahoma heat, drought, wildfire, and plant selection and publishes five unambiguous genus owners. Ambiguous common names remain excluded, and the prose examples do not establish suitability for every Oklahoma site.

Binary prose guidance. Sedum and hellebore are named as good landscape choices because they remain green in winter; pine, juniper, and Yaupon holly are called highly flammable and should not be planted near a home or other structure.

Five unambiguous taxa are retained. The common names “ice plant” and “cedars” are excluded because the source does not identify a genus or species. The publisher page and PDF were browser-readable on 2026-08-25 but returned HTTP 403 to command-line capture; the exact taxon-bearing paragraphs are archived in the research capture.
