This farmer found a 15kg yam which looks like an enormous hand
Chen Liang proudly boasted that he’d never heard of one in the Guanming village growing to more than 5kg
A Chinese farmer was delighted when he went to harvest his yams, only to find that they had taken on a finger-like shape.
Chen Liang, 51, believes that it happened with help from his pet ducks, who would fertilise and then trample over the soil where the Chinese vegetable was growing.
He said: ‘That meant that the yam spread across the top of the soil instead of downwards as it tried to find a suitable place to properly take root.’
Chen, whose giant yam weighed 14.6kg proudly boasted that he’d never heard of one in the Guanming village growing to more than 5kg.
He said: ‘It is also almost one-metre-long and to be honest I was surprised when I had found it because I had almost forgotten it was there.

‘Then when I went behind the vegetable garden which I pretty much abandoned I suddenly spotted it. I was surprised it got so big.'
