(Baonghean.vn) -The potato weighing more than 60kg was dug up by Mr. Nguyen Xuan Huong's family (Hung Trung commune, Hung Nguyen district, Nghe An) after more than 1 year of growing in their garden.

Mr. Huong said that this potato was planted by his family exactly 1 year old behind the house, near the well and was not cared for like other plants. However, the potato grew bigger and bigger, so he added more soil to cover it. Seeing that it was too big, he decided to dig it up.




The potato has a strange shape, it takes 3 people to carry it.

Not only does it weigh 60 kg, but its shape is also very strange.The potato has a rather strange shape with branches and sprouts arranged to create vivid shapes, many branches shaped like the faces of different animals.
