Fire Retardant Trees
The
use of fire-retardant trees to landscape around rural homesteads can
significantly
increase
the safety of buildings in the case of a wild fire event.
Conversely having very flammable trees near to a house makes the risk of the building
catching
fire much greater. Effective living firebreaks require the choice of correct
tree
species
and good grounds management.
