Hello all,

We have just moved to Manchester area and have acquired an allotment.
It is devoid of rhubarb, and my first thought was to dig up some from
our old garden. Is this a good idea, or are there some newer better
more tasty variates now available?

Thanks for any help,

Chris Potts

A bit from a friend will certainly give you a crop but you will be amazed
if you can get your hands on some certified virus free stock!
I think one of the RHS gardens has a collection of Rhubarb and I seem to
remember an article a few years back on their relative tastyness alas
can't remember the variety names

I don't know about the RHS gardens, but Tatton Park has an extensive
collection of rhubarb varieties.

That's probebly me miss remembering!
