Jubilee Plum

The Jubilee plum, also known as Jubileum, is a popular plum variety that originated in Sweden in 1985. It's often considered an improved alternative to the well-known Victoria plum, offering larger fruit and ripening slightly earlier.

Jubilee plums are large, oval, and have a dark red skin that turns purple when fully ripe. The flesh is yellow, firm, juicy, and has a good balance of sweetness and acidity. The stone is free, making it easy to remove for culinary uses.

 They are dual-purpose plums, excellent for eating fresh due to their sweet and juicy flavor, and also perform very well in cooking, for jams, pies, and bottling.

 The trees are moderately vigorous, upright growers with good disease resistance and are very hardy, making them suitable for colder climates. They are self-fertile, meaning they can produce fruit on their own, but may yield even more with a cross-pollinator.

 Jubilee plums typically ripen in mid-August, a few days to a week earlier than Victoria plums. They are known for heavy and reliable cropping
