This pumpkin takes up to 4 people to carry to move. The weight measured for the giant pumpkin was 174kg, the length (the pumpkin was placed at the level) was 0.9 meters, and the perimeter was 2.8 meters. The stems of the pumpkin are larger than the wrists of an adult.
Mr. Truong Nguyen (a resident of Da Lat) said that he had previously seen many giant pumpkins in Da Lat weighing 60-100kg, even the 126kg pumpkin of Langbiang Farm Company. However, this is a very different pumpkin.
"The squash weighs up to 174kg, is beautiful, eye-catching, and has no external scratches. Surely its owner has taken good care of it meticulously and thoughtfully," said Mr. Truong Nguyen.
On August 30, Mr. Nguyen Nhat Quang said that his pumpkin weighing about 170kg had been brought to a tourist area in Da Nang to serve tourists. This pumpkin has surpassed the 126kg record established by Langbiang Farm in 2019, becoming the largest pumpkin in Vietnam.
In addition to the above pumpkin, Mr. Quang also has many other pumpkins weighing over 100kg that have been packaged and transported to customers in recent days.
Mr. Nguyen Nhat Quang said that pumpkin is grown on a farm in Cam Ly ward (Da Lat). He imported this pumpkin variety in 2019. After many years of care and selection, this is the largest fruit ever.
