Coverage contract

fire performance · reviewed: University of Tennessee Extension SP685 is Tennessee landscape guidance and publishes 78 represented plant owners. Most table rows are a carrier of Virginia Firescapes rather than an independent rating; Tennessee source scope does not change that lineage or establish site suitability.

Binary Firewise plant tables (78 taxa). Verdict map: listed = recommend.

A carrier, not an independent rater: SP685's plant tables are verbatim copies of Virginia Firescapes 430-300 rows (confirmed by row-text comparison; 430-300 is cited in its references), so rows landing on records with va-firescapes evidence resolve to that root. A handful of Tennessee-specific additions (Chinese fringetree, cornelian cherry, rabbiteye blueberry, Thunberg spirea) stay as SP685's own Tier 2 rows. The current official PDF is 846,154 bytes; SHA-256: c29cd2953f5e770d50367d5d523458f722c0a2814b532cb781fe42edc0adfebd.
