Trait and maintenance guidance rather than a ranked table. Three named southern landscape examples are explicitly described as usually highly flammable and to be avoided in defensible space in high-risk areas.

Circular 1445 was first published in 2004 and revised in 2015 and 2023. Its three inline verdicts share the UF/IFAS-Southern Research Station evidence lineage and therefore do not add independent votes to related rows.
