I grew it about 10 or 15 years ago. Mine got to about 4 ft, long enough to actually use a a walking stick. I've had it hanging on the wall since drying it and, because of this thread noticed it was gone. Hah...just found it on the floor behind the wood stove, covered in dust bunnies. I should take a pic of it for you.
Picklehopper, I'll check records and see where I got seeds from. I'm sure I don't have any but think I may have bought them from Shumway's or someone I dealt with a lot back in those days.
