Why Plant Amber Jubilee Ninebark - tree form standard?
This perky little tree makes us happy. Amber Jubilee™ Tree Form Ninebark will bring a cheerful splash of ever-changing color to your landscape. Plant it beside your most often-used path so you don’t miss a beat. In spring, it bursts onto the scene with leaves that emerge a striking pumpkin-orange color. In summer, the foliage assumes a cool green hue. When nights turn frosty, purple tones take over. Amber Jubilee™ is usually grown as a shrub, but our clever growers have raised it up off the ground and turned it into a sweet patio tree.
You’ve come a long way, baby! Ninebark is an unassuming plant that has risen to stardom in recent years. Although it grows wild all over the eastern U.S., Midwest, and into Canada, hardly anyone paid it any attention until the late 1990s. That’s when plant breeders began to develop exciting new forms with purple leaves. Suddenly, it became a hot commodity. Amber Jubilee™ was bred in Manitoba, Canada, in 2003. Its parents were the deep purple Diabolo® and the sunny yellow ‘Dart’s Gold’. Breeders at Jeffries Nurseries selected it for its amazing color progression through the growing season.

How To Plant Amber Jubilee Ninebark - tree form standard
Amber Jubilee™ Tree Form Ninebark is fast-growing under the right conditions. Give it a spot in full sun, a layer of mulch, and regular irrigation. You don’t want to hide that handsome peeling bark—Ninebark is so named because it appears to have nine layers of bark.
How To Water
Water weekly, or better yet, use the Bower & Branch® Water Element to deliver just the right amount of moisture to your tree throughout the growing season.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.
How To Prune
Amber Jubilee™ is a fast grower so don’t be hesitant about pruning it if you want it to have a nice, dense head of foliage. Snip off any branches that appear on the trunk or at the base of the tree. Don’t be afraid to prune Amber Jubilee’s branches. You may sacrifice flowers, but that may be necessary in order to keep the plant shapely.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
