Nursery and landscape professionals are a source of information on species appropriate for your area that may also be fire resistant. Flammable Vegetation Fire Resistant Vegetation Areas of largely dead vegetation (forest Little or no accumulation of dead vegetation with disease of insect infestation) Resinous plants that produce flammable Non-resinous plants (most other deciduous sap or pitch (e.g. pine or juniper) species) Drought intolerant plants (many shallow Drought tolerant plants (e.g. deeply rooted rooted or wetland species subjected to plants with thick heavy leaves) drought) Trees with lots of lower branches that can Trees with fewer branches between the ground “ladder” a ground fire into the crown and the canopy High maintenance vegetation (plants that Low maintenance vegetation (slow growing gown or reproduce rapidly such as annual plants that require little care) grasses) “Flash Fuel” vegetation (plants that ignite Plants that require prolonged heating to ignite easily and burn rapidly (such as dry grass) (those with woody stems and branches)
