Upstate NY, zone 6. I have a rhubarb plant which is too big for the spot
where I planted it last year. This was obvious at the time I planted it, but
what's new? Anyway, I'd like to move it, and maybe divide it & give some to
a friend. It's just now showing some growth, maybe 3-4" high. Good time to
move it? What about dividing it? I haven't lived with the plant for enough
years to really tell how it grows. Single crown? Split it like a hosta? Are
they pretty rugged plants?

Split like a hosta and if possible a bushel of compost per plant. Take
off seed clusters if you see them.

Bill who assumes you know the leaves are toxic (High in oxalic acid).

We enjoy Rhubarb, sugar, vanilla as a stew with ice cream or just by its
self .
