The leaves emerge intricately overlaid with deep green reticulated veins, creating an elegant, almost hand-painted appearance. As the season progresses, the foliage develops warmer green, pink, and rose-blushed tones while the contrasting veining remains an important feature. In autumn, ‘Grandma Ghost’ transforms into brilliant shades of orange and vivid crimson red. With an eventual size of approximately 8–10 ft tall and wide, this slow-growing cultivar makes an exceptional specimen for collectors and shaded garden settings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright and gracefully branching, developing into a rounded to broad small tree with age\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10-Year Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 8 ft tall and 4–6 ft wide; mature plants can reach approximately 8–10 ft tall and wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright foliage with intricate deep green reticulated veins; foliage can develop gray-green, rose, and pink tones as the season progresses\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFall Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant orange to vivid crimson red\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rare Ghost Series selection originating from open-pollinated seedlings at Buchholz Nursery in Gaston, Oregon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morning sun to partial shade; protection from hot afternoon sun is recommended to preserve the reticulated variegation and delicate foliage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil: \u003c\/strong\u003eMoist, 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, shaded borders, and focal-point landscapes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright creamy foliage dramatically contrasted by intricate deep green reticulated veins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarden Interest: \u003c\/strong\u003eProvides exceptional spring and summer foliage interest before developing brilliant orange and crimson-red fall color; it is also noted for retaining its fall display relatively late in the season\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It:\u003c\/strong\u003e ‘Grandma Ghost’ is an elegant and highly collectible Ghost Series Japanese maple that combines luminous creamy foliage, intricate dark-green veining, subtle rose and pink seasonal tones, and brilliant orange-to-crimson fall color into one exceptionally refined specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchholz Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Pot #1","offer_id":48897269366978,"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.GrandmaGhost.1.jpg?v=1790031517","url":"https:\/\/buchholznursery.com\/products\/acer-palmatum-grandma-ghost-japanese-maple","provider":"Buchholz Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
