Description

Ginkgo Skinny Fit offers a stunning vertical accent with its narrow, upright form that delivers a refined statement in the landscape. In early spring, its fan-shaped leaves emerge in a fresh green, developing into a polished canopy that transforms to a brilliant splash of golden yellow in autumn. This columnar selection is especially suited for Michigan’s smaller spaces, providing an inspiring, tidy silhouette ideal for urban settings or as a striking screening element. Typically a male selection, Ginkgo Skinny Fit avoids the messy fruit of female trees, ensuring an elegant display all year round.

General Care

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun for brightest fall color and narrow upright form; tolerates some shade.
