RI Man Grows Largest North American Pumpkin Ever

What pumpkin spice shortage?

The largest pumpkin ever grown in North America tipped the scale at Frerichs Farm in Warren this past weekend, registering a whopping 2,230.5 pounds.

The pumpkin, grown by Ron Wallace from the Greene area of Coventry, is the second-largest pumpkin ever grown in the entire world.

Wallace is no stranger to giant gourds. He held a prior world record when he produced a 2,009 pound pumpkin in 2012.

Wallace said he puts in a lot of hard work and uses his special “Wallace organic wonder fertilizer” to grow his behemoths.

Wallace, a country club manager, can once again proudly claim he is the undisputed Pumpkin King.
