Default Bolting Rhubarb

The message from "Plum" contains these words:

Rhubard bolting in March? Oh dear. I know about stress, but what
stress?
It has plenty of water, light, manure and compost. The only other
explanation I can find is that it is the wrong type. Not much help.
Ideas welcomed.


When did you last move your rhubarb?

I used to move ours every 4 - 5 years,
and never had 'bolting' problems.


At what time of year did you move it, Anne?
