Twins grow pumpkin that weighs more than 2500 lbs.

Greenhouse pumpkin set to weigh "more than a rhinoceros

A pair of twins are on course to break the world record for the biggest pumpkin with a gourd they expect to weigh as much as a rhino.

Ian and Stuart Paton, both 63, cloned a 'monster' pumpkin they produced two years ago to grow the 'staggering' squash, expected to weigh more than 1.1 tonnes (185 stone/2,6000 lbs).

The brothers, who started growing pumpkin 50 years ago, said the 'massive' vegetable is 'definitely' setting world records this year at a weigh-in taking place next month.

Photographs of the twins' pumpkin show how enormous it is, with Ian's smiley granddaughters Etta, three, and Martha Syrett, six, perched next to it. Ian from Lymington, Hants, said he and his brother have four pumpkins to weigh this year.
