Delbard Jubilée or Delbard Jubilée DELGOLLUNE is a modern French cultivar of domesticated apple which was developed in 1964 by Delbard nurseries,[1] it is not the same as the regular Jubilee apple that was developed in Canada.[2]
Delbard Jubilee is resulting of a cross between Golden Delicious and Lundbytrop apples, it bears a good crop big sized fruit, skin background is straw yellow but is almost completely flushed with a vivid red. Some apple russet around the peduncle. Flesh is crispy with an excellent and pronounced flavor, a good balance of sweet and acid. Blossoms mid season and harvest mid to late October. Will keep fresh until late March. Has generally good disease resistance.[1]
The breeder Georges Delbard have chosen this cultivar out of his 1200 crossings of apple cultivars that he have accomplished, to celebrate with it his 80th birthday and the 50th year of his nursery. According to a quote in the "Guide of Apples" website, he said:
"... it exhales a delicious floral odor. It liberates an aroma where you will find some touch of banana and hazelnut flowers ".[1]
