Red-Tinted Thuja Foliage in a Compact Shrub

Why Fire Chief™ Thuja Shrubs?

Bred to grow in a neat, globe-shaped silhouette, the Fire Chief™ Thuja merges classic green foliage with bright gold spring color and dazzling fall hues. And unlike many other evergreen varieties, the Fire grows slowly, is less prone to splitting, and requires zero pruning to look clean and tidy.

Plus, you get all the benefits of evergreen growth in a small fit for limited space. It's still one of the finest evergreens for growth in southern heat and humidity and is a cold-hardy specimen that thrives in freezing areas down to -10 degrees.

One-of-a-kind color brightens the tidy Fire Chief™ in spring, while summertime brings a blazing orange shade that deepens to red in fall. Through it all, the rounded shrub remains compact and clean - no pruning and no fuss, especially since it resists sun and windburn.

Container-planted Fire Chief™ Thujas are ideal for framing entryways or providing sleek, modern privacy for city terraces. It can thrive almost anywhere and stand up to any tough conditions with ease, even in wet, soggy areas where many other varieties fail. It's hard to find beauty and brawn in one compact package, but the Fire Chief™ Thuja Shrub ticks every box.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

When you order from Fast Growing Trees, not only do you get the rare Fire Chief™ delivered directly to your door...but you also get a well-developed shrub, planted and grown in nutrient-rich soil with its roots intact. Many other nurseries sell their Fire Chief™ Thuja Shrub bare-root if they even stock it at all. Bare-root plants are prone to failure in the first few seasons.

    Love Our new Fire Chiefs

    They came in 2 days after ordering and the soil was moist. It had not dried out because of the fast shipping. They look like they are in great condition and should add a great contrast to the azalea's we ordered with them.

    5-gallon Shrub

    I just planted it. I have watered it every other dayI It looks OK. Terrible experience with Fedex. They make promises they don't keep. No calls;no nothing

    Nice bush

    Really nice. Came in good condition. A little smaller than specter. Can’t wait for it to grow.

    To early to say

    Delivery and appearances look good. We've planted them, but can give a better judgement in a year or so.
