Response of individual species of cinquefoil apparently differ, and it is difficult to make general conclusions concerning the ways in which this highly variable genus responds to fire. Fire is probably rare or nonexistent at many of the more mesic sites occupied by Newberry cinquefoil. However, at some of the more xeric sagebrush and juniper woodland sites, fire probably occurs at least occasionally. Little is known about the way in which Newberry cinquefoil responds to fire. Vegetative regeneration has not been reported for this species.
Recovery time is unknown.
