Fire Resistant & Fire Tolerant Plants

Published January 20, 2016 in


This list of plants is merely a guide for more fire resistant plants than many of our bush plants. It is by no means a complete list but some of the plants that would be more suitable for Western Australian conditions.

It must be said that in the incidence of a raging fire front no plant will survive, but many will regenerate.

If you cant get enough of Western Australian flora now you can wear it, wipe it, lay it and fill it.
