"American" giants
This giant was grown in 2006.Farmer Lloyd Bright at his plantation in the state of Arkansas in America received such a huge fruit. There was grown the largest watermelon in the world in the history of farming.
The second place in this list also took"American". It was here, but already in the state of Louisiana, another big guy was obtained. It was the largest watermelon in the world in 2008. He weighed 114.5 kilograms. This record was achieved by a family of farmers Sistrank. The fruit was ripe and ripened for almost 5 months - 147 days. The watermelon rushed by August 26, then this record was fixed. The fruit was not only weighed, but also measured with a centimeter. His dimensions were also impressive. In length, he waved as much as 95 centimeters. Here such a giant in good conditions of cultivation became a variety of Carolina Cross.
Maybe someone had a question about where thenwhat is the biggest watermelon in the world? After all, one family can not eat such a fruit and can not eat for 3 days. They gave it to the parishioners of the local church, which they were very happy about. As they said, the biggest watermelon in the world of 2008 turned out to be very sweet.
The family of Sistrans who raised this miracle,also confirmed that the giants of America have excellent taste and are characterized by a sweet taste. Farmers told their secret of growing a juicy vegetable. First, it's important to choose the right grade. Only 1 fruit is left on the whip. Every day, you must carefully turn it over so that the bottom does not rot.
"Russian" giants
In Russia, too, was a fairly large fruit.By Russian standards, its weight was great. Watermelon was a variety of "Russian size". By the way, truck farmers who buy planting material, certainly paid attention to the company of the same name. She offers seeds from which you can grow large tomatoes, large carrots, strawberries and other crops. It was this firm that brought out the seeds of watermelon. One bush gave a huge fruit in 2009. The weight of the largest watermelon in Russia is 61.4 kilograms.
I managed to get such an unprecedented harvest.Likhosenko, who is engaged in the cultivation of "sweet berries" for 30 years. But, according to the farmer, despite the size, that watermelon was not very sweet, so it was not very special. Typically, the fruit contains 12-13% of sugar, in this giant was only 8%.
Japanese size
Японец Акинори Такамицу специализируется на growing this vegetable almost all life. Photos of the largest watermelon of America, Japan are amazing. After all, Akinori Takamitsu raised a fruit weighing 111 kg. He did this in 2005.
But the Japanese giant, unlike the American,also did not differ in sweetness. Therefore, he did not go into food. For $ 300 he bought the chain store "Dye" and used for advertising purposes. This is not the first positive experience of the Japanese. He grows watermelons weighing 90-110 kilograms.
Encouraged by similar examples, truck farmers can also try to grow a miracle-vegetable of enormous size on its site.
