MATSUMURAE, variegated. A great cultivar from the Buchholz Nursery here in Oregon. Deeply dissected toothed leaves are very pale cream-green with dark green veining and light pink tips on new foliage going to a lovely lime-green and then entering fall dressed in a eye catching yellow-orange. As with almost all white variegated cultivars, protection from afternoon sun is needed.

Creamy yellow-green leaves heavily veined with green darken through the season; leaves more deeply divided than other Ghosts... altogether a fine small-medium-sized tree (to 6-8' x 5' in 10 yrs). PSh/Med

This is the best of the Ghost series in my opinion. It has the superb reticulation on an almost white leaf in spring with pink overtones. The growth habit is a wide cone; to 6'. zone 5
