Jubilee (also known as Jubileum) is best thought of as an improved Victoria plum. Like Victoria, it excels as a culinary plum, but it is arguably superior for eating fresh.
The fruit is larger and a slightly darker red than Victoria.

Jubilee is self-fertile and does not need a pollination partner, although fruiting may be improved if there is a compatible tree of a different variety nearby. Since it flowers in the middle of the blossom season it can be pollinated by most other plum trees.

Jubilee is similar to Victoria in that it crops very heavily, and is self-fertile, but it is more disease-resistant. It ripens just ahead of Victoria, usually around late August in southern England.
