    20th June 2021 and I'm very pleased at how my Baby ghost is doing now. It's past the difficult phase....

    22nd April 2022 and my baby 'Baby Ghost' has some pretty new leaves. This one is taking forever to really establish with me.

    28th April 2022 and now my Baby Ghost is showing itself to be a nice reticulated maple. I've waited a long time to see this. So I'm very happy to share with a photo.

    11th May 2022 and the reds, yellows and orange of my Baby Ghost in the light rain was a delight for me this morning.

    21st July 2023 and it's still doing well. Sooo glad it's not getting the heat of Southern Europe.

    Here is Baby Ghost. I can't get enough of reticulated maples and I was happy to find this one.

    The leaves are changing colors and very dependent on how much sunlight hits them. Obviously more reticulation is shown on the heavier shaded parts. I don't hear as much hype about this cultivar but I really like it. Certainly a nice addition to the collection. It only gets sun until 11am and then shade the rest of the day to color up like this.

    Agreed, it doesn't get enough photos or talk on the forum. Maybe because it's not a large reticulated variety?? Who knows? But I'm glad there are 'three' of us who like it here.

    Quick photo of mine in the evening sun.
    Still small, but that's OK. I want to keep it that way in my garden.
