Firewise Plants

This plant list was developed with input from the public, Water and Fire agencies, mountain area landscape professionals, Local Fire Safe Council and horticulturists with experience in water conserving, drought tolerant Firewise landscapes in mountain communities.

There is no such thing as the perfect tree or plant, any of those listed here will have advocates and detractors. The list is a work in progress and is intended to assist homeowners with making good choices. Consult with local nursery professionals for an even greater selection of the plants appropriate for our local environment.
