Brothers grow world’s heaviest pumpkin of all time at 2,819 pounds

Go big or gourd home.

Twin brothers grew the world’s heaviest pumpkin of all time weighing in at a staggering 2,819 pounds and 4 ounces.

Ian and Stuart Paton, 64, of Hampshire, England, who have been growing pumpkins for over 50 years, have come close to achieving the fall feat, but have never accomplished the Guinness World Record until this month.

Their gourd, which they affectionately nicknamed “Muggle” in a nod to the “Harry Potter” series, not only broke the heaviest pumpkin record, but also the one for largest pumpkin by circumference at 21 feet and 3.8 inches.

The pair brought the pumpkin to a competition near Reading, a two-hour drive away from their home in Lymington, and told the outlet, “Moving giant pumpkins is fairly easy as we’ve been doing it for many years. We have our big lifting ring and literally scoop up the pumpkins.”

An assessor from the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth, Sebastian Suski, was there to take its measurements — and a giant fruit and vegetable consultant from Guinness World Records was also present.

“I was amazed to see this record come to the UK,” Suski told the record book. “This was massive news for the brothers who have been growing for over 50 years, but also for all British pumpkin growers.

“Ian and Stuart always shared lots of tips for growing giant vegetables with me, so being the one to confirm their pumpkin’s record status was, from a personal perspective, extra special.”
