Acer palmatum First Ghost

‘First Ghost’, one in the Ghost Series by Talon Buchholz in Oregon, is a distinctive variegate.  Its palmate leaves are creamy white with dark green veining.  Young leaves have the added bonus of pink around the margins.  This cultivar was founded on a branch mutation of Beni shigitatsu sawa, giving this tree a multitude of colors.  ‘First Ghost’ needs protection from hot sun.  It can reach a height of 5 feet in ten years.
