How to grow Tomato 'Jubilee'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Jubilee is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Jubilee needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Growing Jubilee from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Jubilee about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Jubilee

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high.

Plant to first leaves to promote strong roots.

Jubilee is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
