Acer palmatum Baby Ghost
When i first saw listings for the "Ghost" series I thought they had "over ghosted" the name....Ghost this Ghost that . And really many are alike but about 4 ( including this one )are truly cool and worthy of owning . All selected seedlings of either Aka Shigitasu sawa or just plain Shigitasu sawa... they offer a unique oddity to any JM collection . This tree is a very cool smaller variegated cultivar very worthy of your ownership. This could be in the dwarf section but I would classify it as semi dwarf.
