Mountain Celery Pine

Phyllocladus alpinus (Celerytop pine) is listed by [Fire and Emergency New Zealand](https://www.checkitsalright.nz/reduce-your-risk/low-flammability-plants) as a tree. This record preserves the source's unselected species identity. No named cultivar, mature dimensions or hardiness values are inferred from its directory entry. ## New Zealand — FENZ High flammability The main directory assigns source entry 355 the High flammability band. This directory includes the full range of bands; inclusion alone is not a planting recommendation. This is a flammability warning in its New Zealand context. Consider less flammable alternatives near buildings and follow local guidance on removal, relocation or vegetation management. Higher bands mean more flammable, unlike Idaho's numerical resistance scores. FENZ bases the directory on plant-flammability research and cautions that condition and management affect results; this does not establish separate testing of every cultivar. Remove dead material, water appropriately and maintain breaks in vegetation. No plant is fireproof. Other regional ratings and any New Zealand origin or weed context remain separate. [NZPCN](https://www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora/species/phyllocladus-alpinus/) identifies this New Zealand species as mountain celery pine or mountain toatoa. FENZ prints Celerytop pine; that wording is retained above as source text. The catalog title distinguishes this species from the Tasmanian Phyllocladus aspleniifolius commonly called celery-top pine.
