- JulieVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/26/25So sweet and tasty!
Love the Jubilee's, they are such a beautiful fruit and so tasty! They have less acid so they balance nicely when I do a salad with another tomato variety. For you New Englander's, this is the perfect tomato to slice thick, salth then drop onto Wonder bread with a spoonful of mayo! Be ready to provide them sturdy support - I train mine up a trellis. And germination is great as I've been using the same packet for years.
BIBotanical Interests7/30/25Hey Julie,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so happy that you're loving the Golden Jubilee Pole Tomatoes - they really are such beautiful, golden fruits! Your description of their lower acidity and how perfectly they balance with other varieties in salads is spot on and a great suggestion for others. And that New England classic combo with thick slices, salt, Wonder bread and mayo sounds absolutely divine! We love hearing how our customers enjoy their harvest. It's wonderful that you've found success training them up a trellis for that sturdy support they need, and we're so happy to hear about the excellent germination year after year from the same packet. Keep on growing 🌻️

This was the only non- cherry tomato that I ordered this year. Germination was great but they were definitely Romas and not Golden Jubilee.
