'Purple Ghost' does not disappoint with its deep, almost black, purple and very veined and skeletal leaves. With slightly crumpled and saw-toothed edges, the ghoulish nature of this maple is perhaps one of the most evident in the Ghost series introductions from Buchholz Nursery. Fall color is fiery orange and scarlet. Should reach 8-10' tall and 4-6' wide in 10 years. Zone 5-9
