Summertime Gold can exceed 4', but not by much. Typically I've had mine reach
4'~4.5' in height. Probably won't meet your project requirement unless you keep
the top 6" pruned back. Of course I also get 12 hours+ of sunlight a day on these
plants, which seems to impact their growth rate as well.....

Good to see all the success folks are having with germination!
My biggest interest is to see what everyone gets with regards to growth habit,
plant size, foliage density, fruit size/consistency, and of course taste.
