Fremont silktassel recovers from fire rapidly. Top-killed plants sprout vigorously in the first postfire growing season. Partially burned plants grow new shoots from the unburned portions of their branches.
New shoots produce flowers and fruits at the second postfire growing season.
Prescribed burning will not significantly affect Fremont silktassel populations. Fire does not stimulate germination of this species, but fire-damaged plants usually regain or exceed their preburn biomass within a few years.
