Is this one for your yard?

Enter your ZIP to see whether this is legal to plant in your state, and whether it survives your winter.

Tamarius carries 1 legal-list row (NV) in local regulatory evidence. The place and count remain part of the legal-list fact rather than an unsourced national statement.

The fire record is limited evidence. The cited rows keep that evidence strength separate from the legal-list entry for NV.

Tamarix is a genus-rank umbrella record. A second view of the source table preserves the printed taxonomic scope, so neither the legal geography nor the fire conclusion is silently extended to every tamarisk species. This separation protects both the local scope and the genus boundary.

These source-bound review receipts are separate from ecological invasive reports. A source or plant identity change invalidates a receipt.

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.

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.
