I've had four Thujas across the my more than 12 years in Arizona...about 6 years at 4500' and 6 years at 3000'.
Each winter, each of the Thujas turned chocolate brown...greening out the following spring. When my then one and only Thuja turned brown in it's first Arizona winter, I
thought it had died. Thankfully, I didn't treat it to a funeral.
Following my 2007 Great Bonsai Disaster, I have one surviving Thuja...and back home in the Greater Bay Area of Northern California it is still green today.
For what it's worth...my experience with Thujas...

In no way should you feel that I’m saying that my way is the only way…heaven forbid! I've seen far too much of the "my way or the highway" attitude in bonsai as well as in other areas of life.
