Acer leucoderme 'Confederate Ghost'Variegated Chalk mapleZones 5-9 Acer leucoderme 'Confederate Ghost' is a rare, variegated selection of chalk maple and appears to be fairly compact growing. There is no information available on this plant and I've only seen a fairly small plant (4') growing at the JCRA. Fortunately I had some seedlings of Acer floridanum - a close relative to Acer leucoderme - and was able to graft a few plants this year. Acer leucoderme 'Confederate Ghost' has leaves that show a reticulated silver and green pattern that is stronger colored in the spring, but still noticeable into the summer. This variety is unlike any other variegated maple that I've ever seen and will certainly find a prized location in my personal garden. EXTREMELY limited supply. Sadly this plant has been extremely difficult for us to graft and we have used all our understock we have available, so not sure when we will have next crop. We only had 3 successful grafts out of over 70 and price reflects this. We are having a tiny amount of luck rooting it, but not yet sure if the plants will grow on.
