More Information

Description Vibrant fiery gold and red foliage with Fire Chief™ Arborvitae (Thuja) make your garden come alive year-round. Add some spice to any landscape by planting this round shrub alongside a pathway or on top of a hedge. In addition to its bold beauty, Fire Chief™ is also evergreen, low maintenance, and adaptable dwarf variety that features distinct bright scaly growth. This shrub makes for a ‘fiery’ addition to any small gardening space! Drought-resistant after established and container-friendly, this dwarf variety also makes a hardy addition to Zones 5-8. The possibilities of this carefree and deer-resistant plant are endless.

Thuja leaves are flat with woody scales and vary in color. Arborvitae grows best in moist, well-drained soils, and requires very little care to flourish. Some varieties of this sun-loving plant can reach up to 50 feet tall at maturity, making them perfect for a lush privacy hedge. Watch out for deer, however; they seem to love these shrubs as much as we do!
