Yoshiharu Watanabe with that in mind Yoshiharu, who aged 45, has been cross-pollinating clovers (Trifolium repens L.) in his garden at
home in Nasushiobara, Japan, since 2012, decided to see if he could beat the world record for the number of leaves on a cover set in 2009 by another Japanese man, Shigeo Obara, in 2009,
with a 56-leaf clover,
luckily
“Clover is a common plant found everywhere, so whenever I saw a four-leaved, five-leaved,
or seven-leaved clover near paddy fields or parks, I took it back home,”
Watanabe told Guinness Records,
“Since
the number of leaves has increased year by year, I have been aiming for the
Guinness World Records title ever since.”
Yoshiharu says he’s “very happy” to have finally earned this
world record, He added: “People say that a four-leaved clover brings you
happiness, so it would be great if this 63-leaved clover would bring surprise
and pleasure to people.” great to start the week with a ‘Good Luck’ story.
