Released by Burpee in 1943, a golden, slightly elongated, round dark yellow that grows well. Flesh is firm, dry and somewhat bland. Almost identical to the 1950 introduction Sunray. Usually just called Jubilee.

Introduced by Burpee in 1943, a medium size round yellow that is firm and dry. Performs reasonably well if not under pressure from diseases.

This is the first year I am growing Jubilee in my garden. I decided to try out various yellow or gold tomatoes and my local nursery was selling Jubilee plants this spring. I find Jubilee tastes exactly like Sunray to me as I am growing that one also.

But Jubilee has been pumping out ripe tomatoes day after day since the first of the season got ripe. Nice size and mostly pretty uniform in size. I find the taste mild and slightly sweet. I plan to be growing Jubilee again next season.

Firm flesh and relatively few seeds. Low acidity.
Suitable for slicing or canning.
Heirloom from the early 1900s.

Seems like a cross between a juicier heirloom and a beefsteak tomato, but sweeter. Better producer for me than most other varieties, does well dried, canned, and fresh with a little bit of salt.
