Syagrus romanzoffiana is on-list in the cited row. The 2020 guide rates the palm RECOMENDADA and suitable on either side of the 25-metre maximum-risk boundary.
Its qualitative assessment combines species-specific care with fire evidence, fuel structure, maintenance, origin, invasiveness, and fire-service experience. As the sole directional row, it leaves the page limited evidence in the source table.
The report for Hawaii is widespread-invasive, whereas the lower-48 report uses invasive. One introduced occurrence is stored for FL. Those facts remain separate from the guide row and its on-list direction for this palm.

How to read this page
The status above is computed from the cited rows below: independent recommendations can support a fire-resistant result, an avoid row can produce keep-away, and disagreement stays visible as conflict. Placement notes preserve each source’s own scheme rather than translating unlike rules into one scale. This is evidence about a plant, not permission to plant it in every part of the defensible space; Zone 0 remains noncombustible.
Native and introduced range evidence
These are exact U.S. botanical-area records from the cited range source. Native and
introduced describe biogeographic relationship, not fire performance or planting approval.
Doubtful and extinct rows stay visible but do not count as current presence.
The lossless worldwide derivative is retained once in the research corpus; object pages repeat only exact U.S. areas needed by the local lens. The JSON twin carries the same page assertions.
Where its sources say to plant it
Placement rules below use each source's own distances or named zones, tied to its rating.
They are not interchangeable with the directory's current Zone 0 guidance.

The evidence
Grouped by what each source concluded. Primary evidence rated the plant itself
(a lab, field program, or original curation); corroboration compiled or
republished another source's rating and resolves to its root lineage.
Syagrus romanzoffiana is rated “RECOMENDADA” by the guide's qualitative IUF garden-suitability method. The method assumes species-specific care and integrates fire evidence with fuel structure, maintenance, origin, invasiveness, and expert fire-service experience.
