It&#8217;s a famous Hungarian variety bred specifically for canning. The bush isn&#8217;t tall at all, maxed out around 3 ft (1 m) in my greenhouse. I pruned it to two stems. Fruit set is excellent, and these beauties are the absolute perfect size for tossing into canning jars, weighing about 3.5-4.2 oz (100-120 g). The flavor is really good, just a classic tomato taste with a nice little tang. The skin is firm but not tough.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/150\/12-191016115505.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/150\/thumb_12-191016115505.jpeg\" alt=\"Kecskemeti Jubileum tomato cross-section, photo by IrinaA (1)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/150\/12-191016115704.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/150\/thumb_12-191016115704.jpeg\" alt=\"Kecskemeti Jubileum tomato on scale, photo by IrinaA (2)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/150\/12-191016115749.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/150\/thumb_12-191016115749.jpeg\" alt=\"Kecskemeti Jubileum tomatoes in a bowl, photo by IrinaA (3)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== 4.
