Tamarix gallica remains limited evidence in the evidence table. The only directional source rates Taraje very highly recommended under its qualitative garden-suitability method.
Four FLAMITS rows record live-leaf measurements: 20.43 seconds to flaming, 5 seconds of flaming, an 8.32-centimetre flame, and a flammability value of 1.04. These source rows add observations but not a second recommendation, which leaves the on-list record evidence-limited.
One regulated seed entry appears under seed-list status. A separate ecological report describes the plant as widespread-invasive; that status stays outside the fire tally. The record presents both status channels independently.

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.
Tamarix gallica is rated “MUY 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.
