‘Purple Ghost’ is a very striking tree that adds a blast of color. This leaf has deep lavender and purple colors divided by a dark maroon reticulated vein. Acer palmatum 'Purple Ghost' is heavily sought after for its dynamic color. The growth habit is upright with dense branching in semi-pendulous habit.

‘Purple Ghost’ grows to 8-10 ft tall and wide in 15 years. Filtered evening sun is suggested to bring out the best colors. 'Purple Ghost' captures a landscape with its dramatic show of deep lavender and purple. This selection by our friend Talon Buchholz is a spectacular selection. This is a tree you will want in your garden.

Received to Early

Ok. So I ended up making 2 orders this spring 2025 for 4 Japanese maples and 2 conifers. I live in Zone 6a and we get multiple what we would call false springs. Gets up into the 70s for a week or 2 before dropping into 40s or high 30s again and this year it stayed down in the 40/low 40s far to long even into June. 5 of the 6 plants did fine(I pulled them inside whenever overnight temps dipped below 40) but the Purple Ghost did not like it at all. Wish I saw the hold my order option when I ordered. A little bummed the 1 I really wanted died that fast I had assumed I'd probably lose 1 over next winter but for it not to make it to 2 months is yuck. Anyhow still awesome shipping, variety and just feel dumb I didn't see the option to hold my order especially considering I ended up doing a second order like 10 days after the 1st 1.

This will not disappoint! I have many trees from MrMaple and this one brings exceptional color and form. The color changes month to month it seems. What is your favorite color on a JM? You will likely see it on Purple Ghost, or discover a new favorite color. This is the second fall season in the ground and the red on this tree in late November, zone 8 is super bright and it just beams in the sun, holding on to its leaves still. Love spring, love summer, love fall with this tree!!!!! MrMaple delivers quality trees with awesome customer service.
