- 13 Best Fire-Resistant Trees for a Defensible Landscape - Epic Gardening
Protect your home from wildfires by choosing trees with low-flammability and fire-safe attributes! Former organic farmer and horticultural expert Logan Hailey digs into 13 fire-resistant yet beautiful trees for a defensible landscape
- Are Some Trees Fire-Resistant? Actually, Yes. - Arbor Day Foundation
While all of the trees listed below are considered fire-resistant, each has its own characteristics that make it more likely to survive a fire But there are some common features Thick bark protects the inner layer of the tree that’s actively growing (known as cambium)
- Drought tolerant, fire resistant and highly flammable plants
Highly Flammable Plants Use these plants with extreme caution They can be a hazard near buildings or wooden structures, and will need a higher level of maintenance Keep any existing plants on this list clear of each other, free of any dry debris, and trimmed clear of any structures
- Are There Any Fire-Resistant Tree Species? - Tree Vitalize
Fireproof, no Oak trees (Quercus spp ) always come top of lists of fire-resistant trees, and the cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the species of oak most able to resist wildfires The thick cork bark protects the tree from catching fire, and it also protects the tree’s cambium from damage

- Tree species flammability based on plant traits: A synthesis
Trait-based flammability studies yield scientific knowledge with wide applicability Relevant plant traits determine the flammability-related differences between species Environment-traits-flammability linkage by collecting more empirical data is needed
