His mother Nina believes that a cold spring and
hot summer may have provided perfect growing conditions. Previous

The family ensured that two independent
witnesses viewed the plant - Principal Turid Tvedt from Kløvheim
School and journalist Jon Tjore of the local newspaper Strilen -
and they could confirm that it was 108 centimeters.
