Thuja occidentalis ‘FIRE CHIEF’ (PBR) is a compact evergreen conifer grown for its dramatic seasonal colour change and tidy form. During the warmer months, the dense foliage shows bright golden tones that add warmth and contrast to planting schemes. As temperatures fall, the colour intensifies into rich reds and fiery orange shades, giving the plant standout winter presence. Its naturally rounded habit develops slowly and evenly, allowing it to hold shape without pruning. Well suited to containers and smaller garden spaces, ‘FIRE CHIEF’ provides long-term structure and bold colour with minimal maintenance.
