I was looking over possible seeds for next year. The 1258 Wallace caught my eye. Can't find much on it. Has anyone grown this plant? Color, Size, Shape?

I picked it last year as this past season's primary pollinator. It was a very vigorous plant and was the largest of six at pollination time. Unfortunately, I could not get a fruit to set on it out of six attempts and pulled it after pollinating our remaining plants. We had such a hot pollination season.

I pollinated a 1421.5 Stelts, 718.9 Gerchy, 915.5 Gerchy, and 1375.5 Liggett with it, all of which survived long enough to produce seeds.

If I didn't want to grow any of my crosses with it, I'd like another shot at growing it.
