Skinny Genes®: Your Space-Saving Shade Solution

Looking for a majestic tree that doesn’t hog the spotlight—or your yard? The Skinny Genes® Columnar Oak Tree is your go-to for stunning vertical elegance without the sprawl.

Why You'll Love the Skinny Genes® Columnar Oak

This oak is all about that sleek, space-saving silhouette. With its narrow, upright growth habit, the Skinny Genes® Oak fits beautifully into tight spaces where other trees would overwhelm. It's perfect for lining driveways, adding a stately touch to small gardens, or creating a living privacy screen that doesn’t crowd your landscape.

Sturdy and Stylish

Despite its slender profile, the Skinny Genes® Oak is as tough as they come. This drought-tolerant and cold-hardy tree brings all the classic benefits of an oak—strength, longevity, and shade—without taking over your yard. Its deep green leaves turn a brilliant shade of red in the fall, providing a seasonal show that’s hard to beat.

Easy to Grow, Easy to Love

This oak isn’t just about looks; it's low-maintenance too. Skinny Genes® thrives in full sun and is adaptable to a range of soil types, making it a versatile choice for various climates. Plus, it's highly resistant to pests and diseases, so you can enjoy its beauty with minimal effort.

Container-Friendly & Urban-Ready

Don't have a large yard? No problem! The Skinny Genes® Columnar Oak can be grown in large containers, making it an excellent option for patios, urban settings, or anywhere you want a touch of natural elegance.

Make a Statement Without Sacrificing Space

Whether you're looking to enhance your landscape's vertical appeal or just want a hardy, handsome tree that fits your space, the Skinny Genes® Columnar Oak is the perfect pick. Add this tree to your garden, and watch it grow tall, strong, and beautiful—just like an oak should.
