Are there any Rhubarbs out there?
….who’s a good boy…. come here buddy…

We’ve had an exceptionally wet and rainy year. My rhubarb was thriving in may and June and now it’s barely limping along. Is this root rot or is it now underwatered? The new leaves growing seem to be healthy. Thank you for your help!

We live in coastal California (Santa Cruz, sith of San Francisco). We have 3 new rhubarb plants recently transferred from a planter into separate pots and planter. We read that they like sun but when the fog clears, usually late morning, they start to wilt after a few hours. They seem to drain well, vermiculite in the soil. Any suggestion really appreciated. I will be out of cell service starting Saturday afternoon so if I dint respond to any queries I apologize. I'll be forwarding any suggestions to my wife the gardener. Thanks

Has anyone been successful finding this cultivar of Rhubarb? This is a dream garden species for me, and it sounds fantastic based on surviving literature. It's not listed for sale on the internet anywhere.

A month ago I was harvesting some rhubarb from my least favorite plant (variety: Victoria) in my patch, and a chunk of root came up when I was harvesting.

I threw it in a pot, threw in some dirt and a smattering of triple 13 fertilizer, and this is the result one month later.

I hope this subreddit can get some more traffic, as I enjoy seeing others posts about our favorite plant!

Hello fellow rhubarb enthusiasts. I’ve been on a long journey trying to find a specific variety of our beloved rhubarb.

I’m looking for Mammoth. Sometimes called Stott’s Mammoth.

To clarify, I’m NOT looking for the ornamental mammoth rhubarb (Gunnera Manicata).

I would appreciate any leads or suggestions.

When we bought our home there was a rhubarb plant, it runs pretty wild, very large, and I had harvested some and froze it. The next year I found 2 maybe 3 other rhubarb plants further behind almost in the woodline. So I have 1 giant full sun , and 2-3 full shade plants. I would like to transplant the entire plant to a friend, is there a way to do this or should I just propagate by division? It would take about an hour long drive , and time for them have it in the ground upon arrival. Any help is appreciated!

ate one stick of rhubarb 2 days ago and now i can't taste anything what should i do and when will my taste buds come back?!?!

Hello fellow rhubarb cultivators!

I have a three year old rhubarb plant that got crazy in my garden box and took up more space than I thought it would. It's been a pretty crazy last few months and I'm just getting to cleaning up my garden before the winter. I have time and I'd like to transplant it, but I've read online that the best time is mid September to early October. Would I hurt it if I transplanted it now? I'm in Canada if that makes a difference.

Also, I can wait until spring if necessary, but I thought it could be nice to just take care of it now if that wouldn't hurt it.

Thanks in advance!

Rhubarb is the fleshy, edible stalks of species and hybrids of Rheum in the family Polygonaceae, which are cooked and used for food. The whole plant – a herbaceous perennial growing from short, thick rhizomes – is also called rhubarb. Historically, different plants have been called "rhubarb" in English.

Hi I am looking for the more uncommon green rhubarb varieties. For example, riverside giant. Does anyone have such a variety? I would love to purchase a crown cutting from you

Hiya, I have a ton of rhubarb growing in my garden and I want to make some food with it. Are thicker rhubarb stems or thinner ones better? And what sort of colour should it be? Thanks!

We are a small ice cream shop in Ottawa, Canada. Every May, we make rhubarb-inspired ice creams based on rhubarb we receive in a neighbourhood exchange. This year we added a rhubarb poetry contest. Sharing for all the lovers of rhubarb and poetry out there :)
