Three-point flammability rating (H / M / L, "more or less forest fire-prone") across six tables of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs, groundcovers, and vines. Verdict map: L = recommend, M = mixed, H = avoid. Every evergreen tree and shrub in the list is rated H.

Produced by the Virginia Firewise Landscaping Task Force (Virginia Tech, Virginia Department of Forestry, soil and water district, and Larry Steward). Steward also rated the Fire Performance Plant Selector and co-authored OSU B921, so the three lists share a rater and are not fully independent of one another. Nativity column marks Virginia natives; a blank cell means not marked native, not a verdict. Clematis virginiana's rating cell is blank in the printed source (verified against the page image) and is recorded as not-rated. The Ilex x 'Nellie R. Stevens' cultivar row is taxonomy-held because GBIF has no exact cultivar match; it is not broadened to the genus or a parent hybrid.
