Proven Winners® Skinny Fit® Ginkgo Tree

The Skinny Fit® Ginkgo grows in a slim, upright habit, only taking up a few feet of space in your yard. Its dense branches are full of fan-shaped leaves, which are dark green in summer and a bright, mustard yellow shade in autumn. Adaptable and hardy, this gingko tree is easy to care for. Grow yours today!

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.
