Acer palmatum 'Amber Ghost'

This ornamental tree displays a delicate, upright habit and is renowned for its striking leaf coloration that transitions throughout the seasons. 'Amber Ghost' thrives in zones 5-8, preferring a climate with temperatures ranging from 15°F to 85°F, and it appreciates partial shade with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. The foliage showcases a captivating blend of amber-pink hues in spring, transitioning to green in summer, and culminating in a vibrant reddish-orange in fall. The mature height generally reaches 8-10 feet, with a spread of 6-8 feet. Deer resistance adds to its appeal, making it a resilient choice for gardens prone to wildlife visits. While it doesn’t bear fruit, its striking leaves and neat growth pattern add visual interest year-round.
