History

The Delbard Jubilée apple was first cultivated in the 20th century by the Delbard nursery, a family-owned business that has been operating in France since 1935. The nursery is renowned for its innovative approach to plant breeding, and the Delbard Jubilée is one of its most successful creations.

Characteristics

The Delbard Jubilée is a medium to large-sized apple with a round shape. Its skin is a vibrant red color, often with streaks of yellow or green. The flesh of the apple is crisp and juicy, with a sweet-tart flavor that is often described as refreshing.

The tree on which the Delbard Jubilée grows is hardy and resistant to many common apple diseases. It is a prolific bearer, often producing large crops of apples each year.

Cultivation

The Delbard Jubilée apple tree thrives in temperate climates and requires a good amount of sunlight to produce its best fruit. It is typically harvested in the late summer or early fall.

The tree is self-fertile, meaning it does not require another apple tree nearby to produce fruit. However, cross-pollination with another apple variety can increase the size and quality of the fruit.

Uses

The Delbard Jubilée apple is versatile and can be used in a variety of culinary applications. It is excellent for eating fresh out of hand, but also holds up well when cooked. It can be used in pies, tarts, sauces, and other baked goods.
