\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Jumbo Jim Orange is a robust, indeterminate mid-season variety originating from the US that pumps out large, ribbed orange beefsteaks averaging around 1 lb. Growers love its high yield, perfectly balanced sweet flavor, and surprisingly good shelf life for an heirloom. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Jumbo Jim Orange (US origin) – indeterminate, mid-season, and a super heavy yielder. Very tall vine, grew it in the greenhouse and it hit about 6.5 ft (2 m). Sturdy, vigorous plant. I pruned it to two stems. Regular leaf type.<\/p>\n

It didn’t drop a single blossom, set every truss perfectly. The fruits are all massive, oblate, with heavily ribbed shoulders, and very uniform in size. Average weight was right around 14-17.5 oz (400-500 g).<\/p>\n

Incredibly delicious, aromatic, sweet, and super meaty. Giving the flavor a solid A+. The variety really showed its full potential for me. Awesome for slicing, sandwiches, salads, juicing, and making baby food.<\/p>\n

Jumbo Jim Orange was one of my absolute favorites this season. Will definitely be keeping it in my regular rotation. Seeds originally came from Svetlana (Svetlanus), who got them from the Redko collection.<\/p>\n

Agree with the previous review 100%. Loved this variety, it is insanely delicious. All of my fruits sized up really nicely. It also has great shelf life on the counter after picking. Super happy with it! \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n

Big shoutout to Nadja for the seeds! \ud83c\udf3a<\/p>\n

Honestly, I couldn’t have written a better review for this variety than Julia (@Tiffany) did. Props to her for the seeds! \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n

Heavy yielder and totally delicious. These slicers practically glow.<\/p>\n
