Picked in November and stashed in a freezer since, the monster was almost 4cm wide and weighed in at 20.4g - about 10 times the average blueberry.

The title was previously held by a 16.2g berry grown in Western Australia.

The specimen is of a new variety developed by the Costa Group, to meet consumer demands for larger berries.

Brad Hocking says the Eterna breed consistently yields huge fruit, but recent growing conditions had sparked a bumper crop at their farm in Corindi in northern New South Wales.
