GEORGE NEWS & VIDEO - Thanks to the team at Redberry Farm, George now boasts the world's largest strawberry structure.

The planning and architecture of the strawberry already started in 2020, but due to Covid, construction could only be finalised earlier this year.

The structure was officially launched at Redberry Farm on Tuesday 21 June with not only George Mayor Leon van Wyk in the audience, but also Western Cape Minister of Agriculture Dr Ivan Meyer.

The giant strawberry, which is set to break a world record, is standing tall at 14,5m and is 8,5m in diameter.

Visitors can climb to the top using a spiral staircase inside to enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the Outeniqua Mountains, strawberry fields and farm surrounds.

It will also make for a fun family outing and interesting and special photos.
