Giant pumpkin cells grow larger than regular pumpkins, and are composed of more water (up to 94%). They also lack genes that stop fruit growth, resulting in continuous expansion. [ 3 ] Once pumpkins grow so large, they tend to no longer be round but will flatten out under their own intense weight.
Pumpkins just keep getting bigger and bigger each year, and scientists and farmers don't even know how large they can get. You're not imagining it. Pumpkins just keep getting bigger and bigger ...
Big Max pumpkins at a county fair in New York Big Max is a large type of pumpkin of the species Cucurbita maxima that can exceed 150 pounds (68 kg) under ideal growing conditions. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] They are often bright orange in color, with fine-grained, yellow-orange flesh.
Pumpkins require that soil temperatures 8 centimetres (3 in) deep are at least 15.5 °C (60 °F) and that the soil holds water well. Pumpkin crops may suffer if there is a lack of water, because of temperatures below 18 °C or 65 °F, or if grown in soils that become waterlogged.

One of the outcomes of plant reproduction is the generation of seeds, spores, and fruits [13] that allow plants to move to new locations or new habitats. [14] Plants do not have nervous systems or any will for their actions. Even so, scientists are able to observe mechanisms that help their offspring thrive as they grow.

The second group are perennials growing in arid zones which are xerophytic, meaning they tolerate dry conditions. Cultivated Cucurbita species were derived from the first group. Growing 5 to 15 meters (15 to 50 feet) in height or length, the plant stem produces tendrils to help it climb adjacent plants and structures or extend along the ground.
