Thuja occidentalis 'Congabe'
Choose Fire Chief™ Arborvitae if you want a compact evergreen globe with gold-to-copper color near the front of a bed; the tradeoff is deer risk, especially where browsing is regular.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The gold foliage and cooler-season copper tones give it strong color in a small, tidy shape. |
| Growth Rate | B | It develops at a useful pace for a small accent but is not the plant for quick coverage. |
| Maintenance | A- | Its natural globe habit usually needs little shaping beyond removing damaged growth. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | This is one of the better arborvitae choices for tight foundation beds and small front entries. |
| Screening Value | D | Its rounded, compact habit is for accenting, not blocking views. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Fire Chief™ for small, visible spots where color matters more than screening. If deer are common near the house, we'd steer you toward juniper instead.

No, use it as an accent, not a screen.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
