It is in the most sunny spot in my Apple mat so I know it's not stretching looking for the sun. The circumference of the p-stem at the base is currently 50 inches! The color of the p-stems on the 2nd year plants in a frosty lime green with some black mixed in. My mother plants came from the Marine Biologist Charles Moore who founded Long Beach Organic. My 3 original mother plants are all fruiting now with about 9-10 feet of p-stem and about 70 fingers per bunch.
