Fire Chief™ Thuja: Compact Size & Fiery Color
The Fire Chief™ Thuja brings year-round evergreen structure with a colorful twist. This naturally globe-shaped shrub starts the season with bright golden new growth, shifts to rich orange in summer, and finishes with deep red tones in fall—all while keeping its tidy, rounded form without pruning.
Unlike many evergreens, Fire Chief™ grows slowly, making it an excellent choice for smaller landscapes, foundation plantings, and garden borders where you want lasting color without constant maintenance. It's also less prone to splitting and resists sun and wind burn, so it stays looking neat through the seasons.
This adaptable evergreen thrives in both southern heat and humidity and temperatures as low as -10°F. It even performs well in wet or soggy soils where many shrubs struggle, giving you dependable beauty in challenging conditions. Fire Chief™ Thuja also shines in containers. Place a pair by your front door for a polished entrance, or use them on patios, porches, and balconies to add evergreen color and structure in compact spaces.
