This is a 19th century cultivar, that has the appearance of small version of the Husky Pink. Seldon gets more than two feet tall with most plants shorter. Extremely stiff vine that stands up straight, hence the name "tree". I grow it for nostalgia, having admired the illustration in old Shumway catalogs for many years. The fruit is pretty but relatively small. Taste is average. It does grow well here.
