Bradford, Ontario, Canada, might soon be home to the world’s tallest carrot statue. The city has approved plans to build a 39-foot-tall carrot-shaped statue to commemorate 100 years of carrot production in the Holland Marsh area. That would tower over the “Big Carrot” – a 24.5-foot-tall carrot statue in Ohakune, New Zealand, currently listed as the world’s tallest.
Preliminary design plans for the Canadian carrot statue call for a carrot constructed of steel with a copper top so that, with time, the statue will mostly take on an orange tint and the top will turn green, just like a carrot.
