An Euro coin stands atop a 1.2 kilogram orange picked in Vilvestre, Spain, 15 July 2008. This fruit comes from an orange tree bought by a Spanish couple 16 years ago in the Portuguese region of Freixo a Espada Cinta, on the border to Vilvestre. The owners of the tree, which grows an average of fourty oranges of one kilo per year, explained that their 'secret' is a special fertilizer known as 'gallinaza' and the microclimate of that area.

I just looked up gallinaza; Simply put it is processed chicken manure. With that and the micro-climate they live in, they get giant oranges. I'm going to go out and buy a bag of chicken-shit today.
ball is a pretty good ball. Measure your balls and see what you get.
Anyhow, a giant orange is rare, however I've seen gigantic grapefruits in Mexico. B-I-G fucking grapefruit.
