Coverage contract

fire performance · reviewed: Texas A&M Forest Service says the guide's landscape elements apply across Texas and at all scales. FireApproved publishes ten exact genus owners from its placement-band examples and holds Primrose and Bluebells rather than guessing taxa. The examples are not a complete Texas plant palette.

Twelve common-name examples appear in three placement bands: acceptable in the first 10 feet, 10 to 30 feet, and 30 feet and beyond. Ten labels resolve honestly at genus rank; Primrose and Bluebells remain taxonomy-held.

The guide says its general framework is adapted from the UF/IFAS-USFS Fire in the Wildland-Urban Interface series, while the Texas plant choices are its own. The plant rows therefore use a Texas-specific lineage rather than adding a duplicate UF/IFAS vote. The live official 13,504,978-byte PDF exactly matched the pinned input on 2026-08-26; SHA-256: 3375a2fd9c38f3c487c9cc2c01d46b5ada22519c4f5fc8f5165d7297ae0edfc1.
