Unique Decorative Tree Perfect for Tight Spaces
With its slim, upright habit, the Skinny Fit® ginkgo makes a big statement with a small footprint. This tree grows straight up, just like an exclamation point, and only takes up a few feet of garden space. Tall and slender, its silhouette delivers a dramatic impact.
Skinny Fit’s® dense branches are filled with lovely, fan-shaped leaves. The foliage offers months of visual interest, bursting with dark green hues throughout the summer before turning bright golden yellow for the fall.
A narrow profile makes the Skinny Fit® perfect for planting as an accent, for screening and privacy, or when added to a decorative container. Hardy and adaptable, it does well in most types of soils and is resistant to disease. Add this easy-to-grow tree to your landscape today!
About Proven Winners®: Proven Winners® ColorChoice Shrubs offers flowering shrubs, evergreens, and trees that have been tested for eight to ten years to ensure they outperform conventional varieties. That means bigger flowers, more colorful foliage, reblooming, disease resistance, new habits, or anything that makes them more beautiful and easier to grow in your landscape or garden.
Planting & Care
Planting: Plant your Skinny Fit® gingko in an area that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. This gingko tree is highly adaptable, but prefers well-draining soil and regular watering, particularly during the first few seasons.
When you're ready to plant, dig a hole twice as wide and a little deeper than the root ball. Soak your Skinny Fit® in a bucket of water before planting. Once the roots are hydrated, place the tree in the hole. The surface of the root ball should be about 1 inch below ground level. Replace the soil you removed from the bottom of the hole, filling in around the root ball, then water the planting site.
Watering: Water your Skinny Fit® regularly each week and more often as necessary during hot, dry periods.
Pruning: Skinny Fit® doesn’t need regular pruning, as it maintains its strict upright habit naturally.
Fertilizing: There is no need to add fertilizer as gingko trees will thrive with the nutrients available in the soil. If you do, you can fertilize with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in the spring.
