Tamarix aphylla is anchored by the California chaparral clearing study. The compact label preserves the selected low-volume, slow-burning vegetation lineage without repeating its full title.
One ecological invasive report accompanies a fire-source pack marked limited evidence. The evidence table keeps the ecological assertion outside that pack rather than converting it into added fire support.
A second view of the cited evidence retains the study lineage at species scope. The related plants section supports comparison, but its neighboring records do not acquire the selected study lineage or ecological report documented for this tamarix.

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.
