Acer palmatum ‘Sister Ghost’

Acer palmatum ‘Sister Ghost’

Japanese Maple - Sister Ghost

A Japanese Maple with reticulated ghostly variegation. New leaves emerge in the spring yellowish-green with a light pink blush and dark green veins. Like most of this series, the variegation fades a bit by summer having the leaves become a more solid green tone but not completely. Buttery-yellow tones are displayed in fall with hints of orange. Grows 6′ high by 4′ wide in a 10 year period.
