A giant pumpkin grown by farmer Ron Wallace in Coventry, Rhode Island, USA, weighed an incredible 3,156 pounds at the Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Warren.
It is believed to be the first pumpkin to weigh more than 3,000 pounds. If Guinness World Records approves the result, Wallace’s pumpkin will break the record set less than a month earlier by a 2,856.8-pound pumpkin grown in Berkshire, England.
Wallace has experience growing record-breaking pumpkins. In 2012, he became the first grower to harvest a pumpkin weighing more than one tonne.
