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.

Yes, it naturally grows as a rounded globe; light touch-up is usually enough.
No, brighter exposure gives the best gold and copper tones.
No, use it as an accent, not a screen.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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 dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
