Salt cedar remains limited evidence in the cited row. The bulletin lists Tamarix chinensis as fire-prone; its category warns of ready ignition and intense burning.
That source statement is the record's only fire direction, leaving the banner at candidate. A regulated CA entry is retained under seed-list status, while introduced occurrences span the record's twelve range rows.
The ecological report separately records widespread-invasive status across the lower 48. Those regulatory and ecological statuses do not supply the fire result. The evidence table preserves the bulletin's fire-prone wording and its maintenance context.

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.
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.
Listed as Salt cedar — Tamarix chinensis. The bulletin says fire-resistant plants tend to resist ignition when irrigated and maintained, while fire-prone plants may ignite readily and burn intensely.
