Ron Wallace from Rhode Island grew a very big pumpkin. On October 10, it weighed 3,156 pounds and set a world record. No pumpkin weighed more than 3,000 pounds before this one. It was also the biggest fruit ever.
Just one week earlier, Ian Paton from Britain set the last record. His pumpkin weighed almost 2,857 pounds. Wallace's pumpkin took the top place.
