Bizarre Incident: Giant Avocado Found in Minneapolis BackyardBizarre Incident: Giant Avocado Found in Minneapolis Backyard Minneapolis residents were left baffled and amused after a homeowner discovered an unusually large avocado in their backyard. The colossal fruit, measuring an astonishing 18 inches in length and 12 inches in diameter, has become an instant local curiosity. Homeowner Sarah Jones, a self-proclaimed avocado enthusiast, said she was gardening when she stumbled upon the behemoth. “I couldn’t believe my eyes,” she exclaimed. “It was the size of my head!” Jones immediately alerted her neighbors and posted photos of her discovery on social media, where they quickly went viral. The giant avocado has since been dubbed “Avocadozilla” by Minneapolis residents. Scientists are puzzled by the origin of the fruit. Avocados are typically grown in tropical and subtropical climates, and Minnesota’s cold winters would normally make it impossible for the trees to thrive. One theory suggests that the seed may have been carried by birds from a warmer region. “It’s a truly bizarre incident,” said horticulturist Mark Thompson. “I’ve never seen anything like it in my 30 years of experience.” Avocadozilla has become a minor celebrity in Minneapolis. Local businesses have offered to display the fruit and host avocado-themed events. Jones plans to donate the fruit to a local food bank after it ripens. “It’s not every day you find a giant avocado in your backyard,” said Jones. “It’s a reminder that the world is full of surprises.” The discovery of Avocadozilla has sparked renewed interest in urban gardening and the possibility of cultivating exotic fruits in unexpected climates. Scientists are eager to study the fruit further to unravel its botanical mysteries.
