What about Corn? The tallest I know of is 31 feet grown in 1931 I think. My tallest is 16.5 feet the seed was called Hickory King. I have seen it reach more than 25 feet.

the answers have to be email to me to count biggest by weight only for the vegetable types listed only but if there have been two types of a vegetable (A)that held the record both names will count in your scoring remeber documentation is required to prove your answer is correct. example if web site A has answer but it is not correct. your answer is counted wrong for that vegetable type. e
