I am reading up on what trees are fire retardant and I came across an article that said that the mediterranean cypress wins hands down. Have you come across this and is this particle type the one they are talking about?
Hey Cherie, Yes Cupressus sempervirens Stricta or the Mediterranean Cypress is the most fire resistant plant of then all. Seems we need plenty of them in Australia, they could perhaps provide a fire break in the awful bush fires this season.
