Acer palmatum 'Celebration' Japanese Maple nov24 one sees the white backgroundAcer palmatum 'Celebration' 'Celebration' Pink Reticulated Variegated Japanese Maple Zones 5 9 'Celebration' leafs out as a vibrant pink purple with reticulated ghost like variegation. In the south, by early summer this variegation turns creamy with dark defined reticulated veins in the leaf. The new growth returns to the vibrant pink purple. Fall color is an intense fuchsia red. We expect 'Celebration' to reach 10 ft in 10 years. Talon Buchholz
