Akele Hi grew the monster veg, which is 5ft 7ins long and weighs
154lbs, on his vegetable patch in Hefei, southern China.
He took the record from a Brit - Frank Dimmock, from Thame,
Oxfordshire - whose cucumber reached a length of 3ft 5ins.
Akele says he did nothing but water the plant and put the odd
shovelful of horse dung on it.
He added: "All the other cucumbers from the same packet grew to
a normal size. But right in the middle of them this monster
wouldn't stop growing."
