I have two flanking my front room window since 2020, and they have not gotten wider than the plant tag indicates. I love the Fall color they provide. I'm considering getting more for my backyard.

Features
For such a small footprint, Skinny Fit® ginkgo sure makes a big statement! It only takes up about a square foot of garden space, but it rockets straight upward, providing structure and interest in the vertical space. It's unlike anything else. And when fall comes around? Even better. A solid exclamation point of brilliant mustard color will greet you every day for weeks! Although this plant looks picky and high maintenance, it really isn't. It will grow in any soil type or pH, just so long as it is well-draining.
