Guess the weight of my gigundous MegaDom fruit.
See pics and some measurements on my Grower Diary.
The fruit is currently 31 DAP & I intend to take it to the Indiana State Fair contest on August 14 come hell or high water!
It will be 40 DAP then.
I am not going to post any more pics of this fruit on my Diary until the official weighoff.
Post your guess on this thread.
The deadline is 8 pm Eastern Time Zone Friday August 13.
I will be awarding prizes to the 3 closest guesses, either over or under.
Prizes are guaranteed to be fantabulous!

Alright I fermented the seeds, treated them with TSP, a short dunk in dilute bleach & dried them. The prize boxes I took to the post office this morning and they are headed to Tomato Tim, lunker99 & Farmer Brown.
Thanks everyone for playing. Seed, of course, will be available as priority to any clubs that request them for the auctions this winter.
