A SWAN Valley hobby farmer had an exciting discovery last week when he found a giant mango on one of his trees.
Mon Comito said the giant mango is the biggest ever found on the property and weighed in at 1.75kg.
The R2E2 mango is just under half the size of the record for the world’s biggest mango, which was found in the Philippines in 2009 weighing in at 3.435kg.
