GENERAL INFORMATION This plant list was created and approved by various agencies. Although the plant list was designed specifically for landscape fuel modification zones, the plant species identified in the list are also a good choice for ornamental vegetation for use around your home or business in other areas subject to the effects of wildfires (please refer to the requirements in OCFA Vegetation Management Technical Design Guideline C-05 if your project involves fuel modification zones). Photographs of these plants can be found by searching the internet. All plant species will still burn given sufficient heat and low moisture content. -
