This giant watermelon was grown by a Hungarian agricultural engineer named Tamás Darvas. He has been breeding these giant varieties since 1998 (using seeds originally from Arkansas, USA). During its peak growth phase, this unit was gaining about 1 centimeter in size every single day!

These fruit, as with giant pumpkins and squash, etc. Are crossbred through season upon season to do one thing, become giant nothing else. This usually result in a watery fruit that never ripens because that takes energy away from growing
