Sister Ghost Japanese Maple

The Sister Ghost Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Sister Ghost') is an enchanting deciduous tree prized for its unique and striking foliage. Characterized by its upright growth habit, this Japanese Maple showcases deeply lobed leaves with a ghostly variegation of creamy-white and green, creating a captivating and ethereal appearance. As the seasons progress, the foliage transitions to a deeper green with white highlights in summer, followed by a brilliant display of orange and red hues in the fall, providing year-round visual interest and color. Typically reaching a height of 8 to 10 feet with a similar spread, it is well-suited for gardens, patios, or as a focal point in landscape beds. The Sister Ghost Japanese Maple is relatively low-maintenance and prefers well-draining, acidic soil and partial shade to protect its delicate variegated foliage from scorching. With its stunning seasonal color transformations, distinctive variegation, and graceful form, it is an excellent choice for gardeners and homeowners looking to introduce a splash of vibrant color and natural beauty to their outdoor environments.
