The leaves emerge in bright coral-pink and amber shades with contrasting green veining, gradually developing into a warm, glowing amber color as summer arrives. The intricate darker reticulation remains visible across the foliage, giving the tree a luminous, almost stained-glass appearance. In autumn, the foliage intensifies into brilliant shades of orange, gold, and fiery red. With an expected 10-year size of approximately 8–10 ft tall and 6–8 ft wide, ‘Amber Ghost’ develops a strong upright form and makes an outstanding specimen for collectors and landscape plantings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright and gracefully branching, becoming somewhat broader with age\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10-Year Size: \u003c\/strong\u003eApproximately 8–10 ft tall and 6–8 ft wide \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to vigorous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage: \u003c\/strong\u003eReticulated foliage emerging coral-pink and amber with contrasting green veins, developing into rich warm amber with deep green reticulation through summer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFall Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant orange, golden yellow, and fiery red\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rare Ghost Series selection discovered and introduced by Buchholz Nursery in Oregon \u003cspan\u003e Dawes Arboretum \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morning sun to partial shade; afternoon shade is recommended in most climates, particularly in hotter areas, to help protect the delicate foliage and preserve its coloration \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 5–9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collector gardens, Japanese gardens, woodland gardens, specimen plantings, containers, mixed borders, and focal-point landscapes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extraordinary amber summer foliage highlighted by intricate dark-green reticulation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarden Interest: \u003c\/strong\u003eProvides a remarkable succession of coral-pink spring growth, glowing amber summer foliage, and brilliant orange-to-red autumn color\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It: \u003c\/strong\u003e‘Amber Ghost’ is one of the most colorful members of the Ghost Series, combining coral-pink spring growth, luminous amber summer foliage, dramatic dark veining, and fiery orange-red fall color into a truly exceptional collector’s Japanese maple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--source-footnote--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchholz Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Pot #1","offer_id":48897264451778,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9791\/3282\/files\/Acer.palmatum.Amber_Ghost.15.jpg?v=1790031053","url":"https:\/\/buchholznursery.com\/products\/acer-palmatum-amber-ghost-japanese-maple","provider":"Buchholz Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
