Last year we brought you the news of a strange advertising campaign from a Brazilian agency to take fruits and force them to grow in the shape of their client’s juice packets.
Now a group of farmers in China have taken the process one step further by growing a range of pears in the shape of pears.
The pears are simply placed inside buddha shaped plastic molds which forces them to grow in a specific shape.
The farmer, who has so far managed to grow over 10,000 buddha shaped pears, says he wants to experiment with bigger fruits like watermelons.
