Golden Jubilee is an old variety that once was very popular for home use, canning, freezing, and preserves.  The flesh is fine grained, tender and juicy.  The size is mdium to large.  The fruit is freestone with sof, yellow skin with a red blush.  It ripens about three weeks before Elberta or a week or two after Redhaven starts.

Golden Jubilee was introduced in 1926 from the New Jersey Experiment Station.

Almost all peaches are self-fertile and require no pollinators. They will set heavy crops on single trees, which need heavy and aggressive thinning early in the season for best fruit size. Maintain good vigor in peaches by pruning every year, and fertilizing moderately. Aim for 1-3 feet of new growth a year. Fertilize early in the season, so that growth is well hardened off before fall and winter cold weather.
