Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:

To keep the foliage looking its best, give Purple Ghost morning sun and some afternoon protection in warmer regions. Plant in well-drained soil and maintain consistent moisture, especially in summer. Mulch helps keep the root zone cool, but keep mulch away from the trunk. Prune lightly in late winter to remove crossing branches and highlight the natural structure. Pair Purple Ghost with simple shapes and calm textures, because when a tree looks this artistic, the best design move is to let it be the masterpiece.
