Thuja occidentalis 'Congabe', known as Fire Chief, is a slow-growing evergreen shrub with a naturally compact, globe-shaped habit. Its soft, lacy foliage emerges bright gold in spring, transitions to warm orange in summer, and deepens to a rich red or bronze in winter. Reaching four feet in height and width, it is ideal for foundation plantings, low hedges, or rock gardens. This low-maintenance cultivar thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil, requiring no pruning to maintain its form.
