The
gigantic 76-pound jackfruit grown on Hawaii's Big Island two years ago now has some company. Joining it in Guinness
World Records is the world's heaviest mango – a whopping five pounds, seven ounces – grown in
Kailua, Kona.Colleen Porter, who has a small mango and avocado orchard, tended the freakish fruit for two months, even covering it with plastic bag to keep birds from eating it. Before she harvested it she almost gave up growing altogether. I know it's a long shot, but given Hawaii's track record so far, I'm holding out for the world's largest Kona coffee bean.
