A PUMPKIN weighing 1 158kg and grown in upstate New York has set a new US record for the heaviest.

State and national records fell over the weekend at the Great Pumpkin Farm in Buffalo, when Scott Andrusz’s entry broke the previous national record of 1 146kg, The Buffalo News reported.

The winning gourd will be on display at the Great Pumpkin Farm fall festival through to October 16.

A grower in Italy holds the world record for heaviest pumpkin. He grew a 1 225kg squash in 2021, according to Guinness World Records. |
