A resident named Wu Shuhong in southern China has successfully grown a colossal pumpkin weighing over 85 kilograms and measuring about 70 centimetres in diameter.

The impressive video was filmed in Chongqing on July 20.

Wu, who manages a 4.67-hectare fruit farm, received giant pumpkin seeds from a friend two months ago and decided to experiment with them.

Growing such pumpkins requires meticulous care, so Wu fertilised the pumpkin every two days and protected it from pests with a special cloth cover.

After two months of careful nurturing, the giant pumpkin has finally emerged, so large that it takes two people to lift it. The massive pumpkin has not only amazed Wu but also captivated local villagers and passing tourists, many of whom have come to see and photograph it.

Although the market price for pumpkins is about 1 to 1.2 yuan per kilogram, Wu's giant pumpkin is intended solely for display rather than sale or consumption. He views growing giant pumpkins as a form of experimentation and innovation in traditional agriculture.

Currently, the giant pumpkin has become a temporary tourist attraction, drawing numerous visitors. Wu plans to continue exploring and innovating to bring more surprises and joy to tourists.

近日，重庆市梁平区，村民吴树洪成功种出了一颗重达170多斤、直径约70厘米的巨型南瓜。

据了解，吴树洪经营着一个占地70多亩的水果种植场。两个月前，他从朋友那里得到了一些巨型南瓜种子，并出于好奇和尝试的心态开始种植。这类南瓜需要比普通南瓜更加精细的照料，吴树洪每两天就会给南瓜施肥一次，以确保其健康成长。同时，为了防止南瓜受到虫害的侵扰，他还特意用布将南瓜罩住。

经过两个月的精心培育，这颗巨型南瓜终于诞生了。它的体型庞大，需要两个人才能勉强抱起。这个巨型南瓜的出现不仅让吴树洪感到惊喜，也吸引了当地村民和过往游客的浓厚兴趣。许多人都慕名而来，观赏并拍照留念。

吴树洪表示，虽然市场上南瓜的价格大约为五六角钱一斤，但他种植的这个巨型南瓜主要以观赏为主，不打算将其出售或食用。他认为，种植巨型南瓜是一种尝试和探索，也是对传统农业种植方式的一种创新。

目前，这个巨型南瓜已经成为了当地的一个临时旅游景点，吸引了众多游客前来观赏。吴树洪也表示，他将继续努力探索和创新，为游客带来更多的惊喜和欢乐。
