The Ghost Japanese Maple Bundle

The Ghost Japanese Maple Bundle is a mystery pack of four different "Ghost" Japanese maple varieties. All of these ghost varieties have what we call reticulated variegation where the veining on the leaves is very pronounced due to darker veins and lighter colored leaves. These are some of the most incredible and sought after Japanese maples in existence and some of my personal favorite trees.
The Ghost Japanese Maple Bundle comes with four 1 gallon ghost type Japanese maple varieties. These varieties will not always be the same. Here are some varieties that may be included in the Ghost Japanese Maple Bundle:
Purple Ghost
Sister Ghost
Ghost Dancer
Amber Ghost
Dark Ghost
Mikazuki
Peaches and Cream
And many more...

Acer palmatum 'Higasayama' Variegated Japanese Maple
from $39.00
In spring, Acer palmatum 'Higasa yama' may be one of the most exciting and colorful trees you will ever see, there is nothing else quite like it. Unfortunately this intense color is short lived. As soon as temperatures start to get hot most of the variegation will fade away leaving a faint white or cream line down the center of the lobe. And when it gets really hot in our southeastern summers it will go totally green. In late summer 'Higasa yama' will send out long runners of new growth with solid green leaves much larger and differently shaped than the typical leaves. These limbs will usually put out typical leaves the next spring if not they should be removed. Fall color can be quite dramatic with reds oranges and yellows.
Our Higasayamas aren't showing much variegation this year but Higasayama is notorious for having year to year variegation volatility. If you receive a Higasayama without much variegation, it should variegate again in the future.

We find 'Matsugae' to be a very dependable variegated cultivar in the southeast. In spring it opens with cream and rose markings along its irregular shaped medium green leaves. In summer the rose color fades away and the cream turns pure white leaving beautifully contrasting variegation all summer long. Red petioles also add to the overall appearance of 'Matsugae'. This is a very old cultivar with a name that means 'the pine branch' which is hard to understand for a variegated cultivar. This plant is similar to 'Kagiri nishiki' but is faster growing and has better variegation. Fall color is usually orange.
