FIRE CHIEF™ ARBORVITAE Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
Thuja is easy to grow and adapts to most conditions. Feed once a year with a slow release fertilizer.

An outstanding Thuja selection found as a sport on Thuja occidentalis 'Rheingold'. For an immediate splash of color, Thuja occidentalis cultivars are great and are care-free when it comes to maintenance. They grow in almost any soil that drains, ranging from the deep south to the coldest climates of the North. Best Regards!

Although rated for full sun, reports in the south have lead me to believe evening shade would be best.
