In the previous post I talked about Defensible Space, how large it should be etc. Now I want to talk about what fire resistant plants can be planted in that area. Generally you are looking for...
1. Plants that grow close to the gound.
2. They should have a low resin and/or sap content.
3. They should be drought tolerant
4. They should be easily maintained and not accumulate dead branches, leaves or needles.
Here is a link to the San Diego county website that has a list of plants to consider.
