Dinesh ji Looking at Daves Garden link I could not find any information which would consider 'Cherries Jubilee' as cultivar of A. cathartica. The leaves of A. cathartica are generally narrower, whereas ther are distinctly broader in A. blanchetii. Both in above photograph and cultivar Cherries Jubilee, the leaves resemble A. blanchetii.
