Description

Thuja Occidentalis 'Fire Chief,' or Fire Chief™ Arborvitae, is a dwarf evergreen prized for its unique globe-shaped form and vibrant foliage. The finely textured sprays display antique red tips in full sun, transitioning to a greenish-orange in shaded areas. New growth emerges with a striking red hue in spring, while the shrub maintains its lush green color throughout the winter. Ideal as a colorful accent in gardens and landscapes, this hardy conifer adds year-round interest.

Fire Chief™ Arborvitae requires minimal upkeep, thriving in full sun to partial shade. Regular watering and protection from drying winds will ensure its best performance.
