We are accustomed to the fact that lemon is a fruit that is quite light and fits into the palm of your hand without any problems.
However, there are some fairly large specimens.
But how heavy can a citrus fruit be?
The answer to this question is in the Guinness Book of Records.
What is known about the heaviest lemon
The lemon with the heaviest weight was grown in Israel.
The weight of the fetus was 5 kilograms 265 grams.
The circumference of the giant lemon was 74 centimeters. And the height of the fruit was 35 centimeters.
Thus, it is safe to say that the record citrus fruit was comparable in size to a small dog. For example, a bulldog.
Aharon Shemoel managed to grow such a large lemon on his farm located in the north of Israel.
The unique achievement was recorded by the compilers of the Guinness Book of Records in early 2003.
Thus, the record has stood for more than 20 years.
