I have grown a zuke that could have been used as a baseball bat! Not on purpose mind you. It just hid itself well. They can go to that size seemingly overnight! Kinda like the “BLOB”!
I had one years ago that was big and it was tough. It could have taken on any bear. My daughter-in-law and I could not cut it- when we tired a hacksaw, that did not work either. The thing reigned supreme.
