Hawaii farmer grows record breaking avocado

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – A farmer in Hawaii has tipped the scales with a record breaking avocado.

The avocado weighs a whopping six pounds and 11 ounces, beating the current Guinness World Record of five pounds and eight ounces.

Although the fruit is breathtaking, it won’t likely make it into the record books.

It takes 12 weeks for someone at Guinness to authenticate a world record and the avocado won’t last that long.

The farmer says the avocado comes from a tree his brother planted in 1941 but he doesn’t know why the tree produces such large fruit.
