A few years back a house near us sold off the back garden and a bungalow was built, but the first thing the builder did was to put a site hut up. I noticed that just where the step was into the hut, some rhubarb was well and truly poking its head above the ground with new growth. I asked the builder if I could have it. Now I am not a gardener and consequently that rhubarb was dug out of the ground unceremoniously, dumped into the wheelbarrow in 'quite a few pieces' and dumped into a patch in our garden.
Raced away and we have had to 'hack' it back and replant it.
Go for it.
