Jubilee Japanese Maple

The Jubilee Japanese Maple has striking and unique leaves, with slender lobes marked with a pronounced network of veins. In spring these are purple-pink, standing out against a light pink background. The leaf turns creamy-pink and then light green for summer, before becoming brilliant red for fall. The fall leaves last a long time on the tree. This tree is upright, with a rounded, slightly weeping crown, reaching 6 to 8 feet within ten years, and ultimately reaching perhaps 20 feet. Gorgeous as a specimen tree, its unique colorings really make it stand out.

• Pink-purple spring leaves with striking vein patterns
• Creamy pink in late spring, light green in summer
• One of the best trees for bright red, persistent fall colors
• Excellent specimen tree for smaller spaces
• Fully hardy in zone 5

The Jubilee Japanese Maple is fully hardy in zone 5, and it should be placed in morning sun and afternoon shade, for the best colors. It grows well in moist, rich, well-drained soil, with regular mulching to cool the roots and conserve moisture. Use a porous potting soil for container growing. Pests and diseases are normally never an issue.
