Acer palmatum ‘Baby Ghost’

Japanese Maple - Baby Ghost

As the name suggests, this Japanese Maple is the shortest of all the ghosts in the series. In spring, it leafs out an amberish colour with green veins making it look ghostly. The reticulated leaves change to a purplish-red colour and eventually transitions to an orange-red fall colour. Grows 6′ high and wide in a 10 year period.
