I'll trade you a 1000 lbs.+ wallace seed if you grow it and then drop the pumpkin from 8,000 ft.

Probably 8000 ounces. Slightly larger than the 8000 gram pumpkins I usually grow.

The 8000 lb pumpkin can be found in the classified section between the 2000 lb tomato and the 400 foot carrot.

I'm sorry it is a miss understanding about the 8,000 lbs.
pumpkin I had someone else to read the article and they said it wasn't talking about the pumpkin on the page it was talking about a 8,000 lb. elephant that Bob Barker had bought. It was on the same page and only called it a beast so I thought It was talking about the pumpkin on that page.

I don't think you want any kind of seed from an 8000 lbs elephant...or from any elephant for that matter.
