The leaves emerge in soft white to pale yellow-green shades, often touched with a rosy-pink blush, while the contrasting green veins create an intricate netted pattern across the foliage. As the season progresses, the foliage transitions toward light green while retaining traces of its characteristic variegation. In autumn, ‘Sister Ghost’ develops glowing golden-yellow color, often enhanced with orange and occasional red highlights. With a graceful, spreading habit and an expected 10-year size of approximately 5–6 ft tall and 6–8 ft wide, it is an exceptional choice for collectors looking for a refined Ghost Series maple with an especially elegant foliage display. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit: \u003c\/strong\u003eUpright to broad and gracefully spreading, often growing wider than tall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10-Year Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 5–6 ft tall and 6–8 ft wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow to moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage: \u003c\/strong\u003eDeeply divided and serrated reticulated foliage emerging white to pale yellow-green with prominent dark green veins and occasional soft pink coloration on new growth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFall Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright golden yellow, often with orange and occasional red highlights\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/strong\u003eRare Ghost Series selection discovered and introduced by Talon Buchholz of Buchholz Nursery in Oregon; closely related to the reticulated ‘Shigitatsu sawa’ group \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight: \u003c\/strong\u003eMorning sun to partial shade; protection from hot afternoon sun is recommended to help preserve the delicate foliage and minimize leaf scorch. \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, and focal-point landscapes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Feature: \u003c\/strong\u003eLuminous white-to-pale-green foliage dramatically contrasted by deep green reticulated veining and finely serrated leaf edges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarden Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides exceptional spring foliage interest, develops softer green tones through summer, and finishes the season with glowing golden-yellow to orange fall color\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It:\u003c\/strong\u003e ‘Sister Ghost’ is one of the most distinctive members of the Ghost Series, combining almost white spring foliage, intricate dark-green veining, deeply serrated leaves, and brilliant golden autumn color into an elegant and highly collectible Japanese maple.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchholz Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Pot #1","offer_id":48897252098242,"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.SisterGhost.3.jpg?v=1790028536","url":"https:\/\/buchholznursery.com\/products\/acer-palmatum-sister-ghost-japanese-maple","provider":"Buchholz Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
