Description

Red-Green Foliage in a Compact Package Growing naturally in a neat, globe-shaped silhouette, the Fire Chief™ Thuja brings together the classic green foliage you love with the twist of dazzling color in the spring and fall.

Golden color brightens the Fire Chief™ in spring, while summertime brings a blazing orange shade that transitions to red in fall.

So, don't wait - order your Fire Chief™ today! Planting & Care 1. Planting: Select an area with well-drained soil and full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily). Dig a hole that's two times as wide as the root ball but just as deep. Place the tree, backfill the soil, and tamp down. Finally, water the tree to settle the roots and mulch to conserve moisture. 2. Watering: Upon first planted deeply water your nandina so that the rootball is fully saturated. Keep to a watering schedule for the first couple of weeks, watering around 3 times a week. Once established, natural rainfall should be enough to sustain your shrub. If you've planted your tree in a pot, check the soil about 2 inches down for dryness and water when this area is dry. Provide additional water in times of dryness in the summer. 3. Pruning: You won’t have to prune this shrub unless you'd like to shear it for shaping purposes. In that case, you can shape in late spring.
