Default Rhubarb - Can it be True?
In article , Pete C
writes

Cutting stalks in the first year encourages the plant to produce yet more
stalks. On the other hand, not cutting in the first year encourages stronger
root growth.

I have always understood that you should not cut rhubarb but pull the
stalk from the base.

Apparently this encourage the plant to put out more shoots.
