Fire Chief™ Globe Arborvitae — Thuja occidentalis 'Congabe' PP19,009 (Dwarf Evergreen Shrub)

Fire Chief™ Globe Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Congabe' PP19,009) is a stunning four-season dwarf evergreen shrub that delivers one of the most dramatic seasonal color progressions of any compact conifer — a slow-growing, naturally rounded globe form with bright gold new growth that emerges with a burst of golden color in spring, gradually matures to rich, deep green through the summer months, and then transforms again into deep burgundy-red winter tones as temperatures drop, creating a living color calendar of ornamental interest year-round without a single shear of the pruning shears. The naturally compact, symmetrical globe form stays a manageable 1–2 feet tall and 2–4 feet wide with virtually no pruning required, making Fire Chief™ an exceptionally low-maintenance choice for foundation plantings, rock gardens, border accents, and container gardens where a neat, colorful, year-round evergreen presence is desired. Drought-tolerant once established. Best in full sun with well-drained soils. Hardy to Zone 5.
