| I have this very tall plant growing off the back end of my deck. It is a single plant with five stalks and little berry-like growths that look like they're going to bloom, but they've been that way for several weeks. |

| That's it! That's exactly it (except for the fact that mine is of Jack and the Beanstalk proportions.) Thank you all so much for your help. |
