Cherry Jubileum Semidwarf

Jubileum Semidwarf Cherry

Prunus cerasus ‘Jubileum’ (Jubileum® Tart Cherry — Semidwarf / Moderate Size)
A self-fertile tart cherry (often sold grafted on a semidwarf to moderate rootstock) prized for its large, dark purplish-red cherries and early harvest — typically about 10 days before Montmorency. The fruit is excellent for fresh eating, preserves, pies, juice, and culinary uses, and the tree also offers ornamental white spring flowers.

Size:



Width: ~10–14 ft (mature semidwarf / moderate tree size)



Height: ~10–14 ft (mature semidwarf / moderate tree size)



Zones: 5–8

Light: Full sun (6+ hrs/day)

Soil: Moist, well-drained soils

Features:



Fruit: Large, dark purplish-red tart cherries with rich flavor, earlier ripening before many other pie cherry types



Flowers: White spring blossoms that attract pollinators



Form: Upright, broadly spreading semidwarf / moderate fruit tree habit



Reliable producer with good disease resistance in many landscapes



Attracts:
Pollinators during bloom; birds may visit fruit (netting recommended)

Uses:
Home orchards, edible landscapes, baking/canning gardens, mixed fruit plantings

Notes:
• Jubileum is generally self-fertile, so it doesn’t strictly require another pollinizer, though a second variety can boost yield.
• Size varies with rootstock — on semidwarf or moderately sized rootstock the tree stays manageable for smaller yards.
