Two years ago, I was given a rhubarb plant and because I had nowhere else to
plant it at the moment, I stuck it in the ground too close to the garage. I
knew it was going to be too huge for that spot, but necessity is the mother
of compromise.

Now it's time to move it and of course, it's huge. If I hack off all leaves
& stalks except maybe for the smallest 3-4 in the center, is it likely to
survive the move?


Treat it like a hosta.

P.S. Heat is comming on so the new spot loaded with rich soil may
need water if plant is overly sad.
